You can do that with margins?

My flexbox playlist: • Flexbox basics
CSS margins are used all the time, but people don't realize how creative you can get with some clever uses of margin: auto. Used in the right places, you can do all sorts of cool things and make more complicated layouts with simple HTML.

Thought I knew CSS. Then I discovered this channel. Now I never know how to feel after watching these videos. Happy to have learned something, close to tears when I realize how little I know.

[@Dubstepschule]

Haha, same here!

[@danielesibra2169]

The same too 😂

[@rickyrayrosenberg420]

It's like some guy is a better boyfriend to my girlfriend than I am. Kevin is the mac.

"My flex grow is making it grow" - 2020 Kevin Powell

weird flex, but ok.

when Kevin Powell uploads a CSS video you f***ing click it.

You should definitely release more courses on how to use CSS in general. You are a really good teacher.

[@soulhazetv]

Honestly his approach to teaching is by far the best I have come across here on YT. This is game changer..

[@louisik1]

This is still one of the greatest bang for buck methods for arranging elements, especially for older pages/designs that don't have full fledged flex/grid/container implementations. Thanks again Kevin

[@j.almadhaji]

Best Teacher on KZbin 🙏🏻

[@fraidoonhu9284]

So simple, yet profound, a master piece of CSS code. Poetry written in CSS.

[@aram5642]

When I started with css 100 years ago, I always wondered why you can center horizontally using margin auto, but not vertically. I love this vertical margin auto that has been made useful at last. This trick is so nifty when you want to align top/bottom some common elements within cards (such as link "Read more")

[@RodrigoDAgostino]

I learnt a while ago how to use margin: auto with flex-box to move one or several items to the opposite side, but I didn't know you could also use it to center one or some of them too. Thank you very much, Kev! :)

[@dimensionalpotential]

I appreciate that you add the errata , and also that you did it well (timing, and placement)!

[@GaryBarclay]

Awesome, you always reveal something over stuff I think I know already. Keep up the great content.

[@olivernygren2967]

Your channel is so helpful and you make everything so easy to understand. Much appreciated and please keep the content coming!! Sincerely, Front end developer student in his first week :)

[@TerranceShaw]

Continue to love your stuff, Kevin! This definitely helped far more eloquently solve a problem I've had to hack together in the past. Keep up the awesome!

[@piromaniaco3579]

You did it again!! Your channel is the top of top. Thanks Kev!

Brilliant stuff Kevin. You've got a gift for explaining things simply and succinctly. Keep up the fab work and much appreciated.

I love this one, thanks for the content Kevin.

[@ibelong2u]

This is brilliant! I'm fantasizing about all the fun I can have with this and media queries. Thank you for sharing.

[@PHEELL822]

What are the freaking odds that I come across this video on my feed while running into this exact problem with centering specific flex items while also pushing a few to the right? Kev you're the best!

[@jameslesperance1]

You have really helped me. Thank you!

[@jkevinparker]

Kevin, I’m so glad I found your channel! My CSS knowledge was pretty extensive… in 2010. I’ve been out of the game for a while, so I’m learning to unlearn the hacks I’d learned to overcome Internet Exploder and other limitations. CSS seems to finally be mature, though I’m happy with how much of my old learning still applies!

[@dennyyap8184]

Appreciated for sharing Kevin👍🙏 it is really useful.

Hey Kevin!! Sorry I'm so late to the party, but just wanted to let you know how much your videos are helping me out. I'm very new to the whole html/css/js thing, so tend to learn something new from any video I watch, but I find your way of explaining things and the level of detail you include seems to increase my understanding so much more. Thank you!

[@HARIKRISHNANSRSRSHD]

I kinda knew how auto in CSS workes, but now I'm confident. Thanks again, Sir. If you think you have seen enough of CSS. You gotta binge watch Kevin's whole channel.

[@PokemonGo-re7ue]

Amazing content, thank you!

[@melzz]

Woah, my jaw literally open wide while watching this, i never knew those flex trick would make vertical margin auto work. Nice video

[@avananana]

To be fair, this all makes perfect sense when you give it some thought, but I would have never thought about this before seeing this video. I swear to god the knowledge this channel provides regarding CSS is pretty much unrivaled as far as I know, it's great.

[@rosemaryvalad-on4888]

How to be you sir?

[@saalimkhan4133]

The guy teaches CSS fundamental concepts with practical use cases that makes me to watch only CSS videos on entire the KZbin. Even though I hate CSS yet I love to watch his videos. Thanks man!

[@shahzaibkhan5423]

Sir you just rocked. You just cleared our deepest doubt about the flex box. Thank you very much sir 🎉

[@hirumamwf3633]

The value of knowledge in your whole videos is very expensive. And you gave us for free. Thank you very much.

[@muhammadamir4964]

Thanks Kevin for sharing your knowledge. It is very painful to learn on your own such effects but you make these things very simple and easy. Thanks

Cool options with margin, Thanks Kevin❤

[@vasylbats2544]

Yes, I use such margins all the time in the flex boxes in my practice. Thanks, Kevin!

[@aebek1413]

your videos are well structured and good , keep up the great work you are great teacher.

[@CarlosChavez-gs1ld]

Hi Kevin, I have watched many of your videos and they are always well done. I write websites in the raw code (not templates) and have done a good handful of sites. This particular video directly addresses serious headaches I run into with respect actually achieving the spacing I am looking for in my navigations or other list-options areas. I won't bore you with the details of what I have done to make it work (it is WAY too embarrassing). It is the combination of the margin usage you discuss WITH THE "nth-of-type()" selecting you are doing that enables a big reduction in BOTH the amount of CSS and the amount of HTML/Structure required. Thanks again.

[@philippwakonigg280]

Mind-blowing hahaha nice job!

Kev you easily deserve 1 million + subscribers. Thanks again for this great video!

[@onestepwebdev]

Thanks Kevin, that's very awesome of you to do this quick Tut. Using Flex-box on a sidebar is a stroke of genius, what else should I have expected. How about drop-down menus inside the menu. Obviously, sub-lists would be one way.

[@qna9686]

Man i just discovered your channel. Great videos!

[@emkisn]

I didn't learn anything from this video, but WHAT A GREAT VIDEO! I need to say that you are killing it at the content quality. I follow you channel for at least 2 years from now, and i need to give some feedback. The quality of the videos, the editing, the timing, its much more robust, you are really doing an amazing job, congratulations a lot. This tips and simple exemples help a lot, keep doing. Sometimes the subject of the video is not a new topic for me, but i always try to watch, just for the channel support, best regards. (sorry my noobie english)

[@rishabhsharma_4769]

Very nice explanation

[@akshaychidre9139]

Thanks, Kevin

[@mitetoOoOoO]

I love how happy he gets when saying "That's awesome". It's like watching Simon from Cracking the Cryptic finding his solution.

[@arunh3]

I don't think I have subscribed to channel after watching just 2 videos, but this content is just really good and very well explained, so I subscribed. I am more of a backend person and gets tripped up with css sometimes so these videos are great for me.

[@agent-33]

Thanks for this.

[@Mark.Ritchie]

Every time I hear someone say 'em' when they talk, I now always feel they're trying to make a space in the sentence. That and recognising fonts in everyday life are things I'll probably never forget. Thanks css!!

[@MrEvansjethro]

That's powerful, Powell. Perhaps I should say a Powellful CSS margin usage indeed.

[@ramyfares81]

It's been long since I've learned something new so cool in CSS. It's amusing to always know that there's something new to learn.

[@conalbirtles3720]

Great work! From a practical application point of view, the only suggestion I would make would be to add margin-left: auto to li:nth-last-child(2) instead of li:nth-of-type(6) because it's much more likely that a client will want to add another item to the middle 'site menu' than to the right hand 'login menu'. The way it's set up now, if you were to add, let say 'Shop' to that middle menu, the layout would break. (You'd also need to change nth-of-type(7) to nth-last-child(1) but that probably goes without saying)

[@MikePhumanaut]
