Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the site depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Receive an error message when the form is submitted if:
  • Any input field is empty. The message for this error should say "[Field Name] cannot be empty"
  • The email address is not formatted correctly (i.e. a correct email address should have this structure: name@host.tld). The message for this error should say "Looks like this is not an email"

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

I was able to learn more about "conditional" classes in CSS, e.g:

.input-control.error input;

instead of

.input-control .error input;

Also, how to add form validation like this using functions. It was very insightful!

Continued development

I would like to keep focusing on more JavaScript and functions.

Useful resources

• Form Validation using JavaScript - I followed what this person did to the tee and everything worked wonderfully. Thank you!
