After avoiding HTML/CSS for a long time, I finally decided to dive in and create a simple CSS grid website with 3 items in the grid. Everything was working well and looking exactly as I wanted it to:
However, I had the idea of using the entire Aside-Items section as a hyperlink. So, I wrapped a href= around it, but then the same CSS ended up looking like this:
My questions are:
- How can I achieve the look from the first picture while making the "Aside-GridItem" function as a hyperlink?
- Is this approach acceptable, or will I face SEO issues by "hiding" the link with text-decoration: none?
Here is my code snippet:
.gridwrapper{
display:grid;
grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr;
grid-template-rows: 1fr 3fr;
grid-column-gap: 1px;
background-color: wheat;
gap: 5px;
}
.gridHeader{
background-color:blueviolet;
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 32px;
padding: 1em;
grid-row: 1 / 2;
grid-column: 1 / 2;
}
.gridContent{
background-color:blue;
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 32px;
padding: 1em;
grid-row: 2 / 3;
grid-column: 1 / 2;
}
.gridAside{
background-color:goldenrod;
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 32px;
padding: 1em;
grid-row: 1 / 3;
grid-column: 2 / 3;
