Question 1

How do I center items both ways in CSS Grid?

Accepted Answer

Use `place-items: center;` on the grid container for quick centering, or set `justify-items` and `align-items` individually for more control. Always test in DevTools to visualize grid lines.

Question 2

CSS Grid or Flexbox for a card layout?

Accepted Answer

Grid is better for two-dimensional layouts where cards need precise row and column control, while Flexbox suits one-dimensional flows. For simple card grids, Grid's `auto-fit` with `minmax()` is efficient.

Question 3

Why isn't CSS Grid working in my updated browser?

Accepted Answer

Ensure you're using correct syntax like `display: grid;` and check for typos. Use browser DevTools to inspect grid rendering, and verify support via caniuse.com—sometimes prefixed properties are needed for older versions.

Question 4

How to handle CSS Grid in Internet Explorer?

Accepted Answer

IE10-11 support an outdated Grid spec. Use feature queries with `@supports` to provide fallbacks like Flexbox or floats, and consider polyfills, but note they may have performance trade-offs.

Question 5

What's the best way to ask a CSS Grid question here?

Accepted Answer

Follow the guidelines: provide a reduced test case on CodePen or similar, isolate the specific issue, and include a clear description. Avoid broad layout requests to increase chances of a helpful answer.

Question 6

Can I use CSS Grid with Bootstrap's grid system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it can lead to conflicts. Disable Bootstrap's grid for specific components and use CSS Grid directly for more flexibility. This approach avoids bloated code and leverages Grid's native capabilities.
