Learn Accessibility by Building a Quiz

I had a lot of questions doing this chapter the 1st time. But after trying it again, I’m left with 2:

  1. In Step 48, the moment I vertically align the flex items to the center of the header, the logo decreases in height. Why exactly is that happening? Picture of before and after attached for reference:
    Before


    After

    Also, I’d like to add that this only happens in the preview section, not in a separate maximized tab.

  2. I understood the instructions and how I had to write the following code (from Step 67), but I don’t really understand what each part of the following code is doing start with the main one, @media rule. I tried to understand it by looking it up on W3S but couldn’t really understand much. Is it covered somewhere later in the course or is there an article where I can get a basic grasp of how it works.

/*css*/

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) {
  * {
    scroll-behavior: smooth;
  }
}

Thanks in advance for your time and help! :slight_smile:
PS. I have shared the entire code in the comments.
