How do I make a grid with Html and CSS with DIVS
I have all my divs necessary for my tic tac toe game, however I can't seem to find a simpler way to make a grid and not have any borders so it's just a grid and not 9 full squares... I think it's an issue in CSS.
<html>
<head>
<title>First Tic Tac Toe</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Tic Tac Toe</h1>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="gameboard">
<div class="Row1">
<div id="cell1"></div>
<div id="cell2"></div>
<div id="cell3"></div>
</div>
<div class="Row2">
<div id="cell4"></div>
<div id="cell5"></div>
<div id="cell6"></div>
</div>
<div class="Row3">
<div id="cell7"></div>
<div id="cell8"></div>
<div id="cell9"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="button">
<button>New Game</button>
<button>End Game</button>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
HERE IS THE CSS, I HAVE 9 BOXES I NEED A GRID, HOW DO I DO THAT?
.gameboard {
width: 330px;
height:310px;
border:3px solid white;
z-index: 1;
}
.wrapper {
width: 330px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.button {
background-color:white;

margin:0 auto;
}
.row1, .row2, .row3 {

Answer
Not 100% sure what your saying but lets have a look.
Here we have a grid for "tic tac toe", you can use float: left; to put 9 boxes into one container to line up these boxes in a row (3 a row due to width: 100px; and the overall container width: 300px;)
HTML:
<div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
CSS:
div {
width: 300px;
height: 600px;
}
div div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
outline: 1px solid;
float: left;
}
Now if we want the border like when you normally play the game lets do something like this:
CSS:
div {
width: 310px;
height: 600px;
}
div div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
float: left;
}
div div:nth-child(-n+3) {
border-bottom: 1px solid;
}
div div:nth-child(-n+6) {
border-bottom: 1px solid;
}
div div:nth-child(1), div:nth-child(2), div:nth-child(4), div:nth-child(5), div:nth-child(7), div:nth-child(8) {
border-right: 1px solid;
}
Note that its early in the morning and there could be a better was to get that layout, brain not be fully working yet. But that is a way that will work.
NOTE: Only just seen I set the height: 600px; for some reason, you can lower that to fit the box.
Update:
Your code with easier grid:
HTML:
<h1>Tic Tac Toe</h1>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="gameboard">
<div></div>
<div class="leftright"></div>
<div></div>
<div class="updown"></div>
<div class="middle"></div>
<div class="updown"></div>
<div></div>
<div class="leftright"></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div class="button">
<button>New Game</button>
<button>End Game</button>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper {
width: 330px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.gameboard {
width: 330px;
height:310px;
border:3px solid white;
z-index: 1;
}
.gameboard div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
float: left;
}
.middle {
border: 1px solid;
}
.button {
background-color:white;
width: 160px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.updown {
border-top: 1px solid;
border-bottom: 1px solid;
}
.leftright {
border-left: 1px solid;
border-right: 1px solid;
}
So to make it easier for you, I have based it around your code and put in an easier grid. Using classes I made to set the borders that create the layout of the game board.
