  2. Toggle Dark Mode with JavaScript: Use JavaScript to toggle between light and dark modes.
  3. Persist User Preference: Save the user's preference in localStorage so it persists across sessions.

Example:

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Dark Mode Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <button id="toggle-dark-mode">Toggle Dark Mode</button>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>This is an example of dark mode implementation.</p>

    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

CSS (styles.css):

body {
    background-color: white;
    color: black;
    transition: background-color 0.3s, color 0.3s;
}

body.dark-mode {
    background-color: black;
    color: white;
}

JavaScript (script.js):

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    const toggleButton = document.getElementById('toggle-dark-mode');
    const body = document.body;

    // Load stored preference
    const darkMode = localStorage.getItem('dark-mode');
    if (darkMode === 'enabled') {
        body.classList.add('dark-mode');
    }

    toggleButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
        body.classList.toggle('dark-mode');
        if (body.classList.contains('dark-mode')) {
            localStorage.setItem('dark-mode', 'enabled');

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <header class="sticky-header">
        <h1>Sticky Header</h1>
    </header>
    <main>
        <p>Content goes here...</p>
        <!-- Add more content to enable scrolling -->
    </main>
</body>
</html>

CSS (styles.css):

.sticky-header {
    position: sticky;
    top: 0;
    background-color: #333;
    color: white;
    padding: 10px;
    z-index: 1000;
}

Explanation:

  • position: sticky; makes the header stick to the top of the viewport.

35. How do you create a CSS custom property (variable) and use it in your HTML document?

CSS custom properties, also known as CSS variables, are entities defined by CSS authors that contain specific values to be reused throughout a document. They can make your CSS more maintainable and easier to read.

Creating a CSS Custom Property

To create a CSS custom property, you use the -- prefix followed by the property name. Custom properties are usually defined within a :root selector so they can be accessed anywhere in the document.

:root {
  --main-bg-color: #3498db;
  --main-text-color: #ffffff;
  --spacing: 16px;
}

In this example:

  • --main-bg-color is a custom property for the primary background color.
  • --main-text-color is a custom property for the text color.
  • --spacing is a custom property for spacing.

Using CSS Custom Properties

To use a custom property, you use the var() function.

body {
  background-color: var(--main-bg-color);
  color: var(--main-text-color);
  padding: var(--spacing);
}

In this example:

  • background-color is set to the value of --main-bg-color.
  • color is set to the value of --main-text-color.
  • padding is set to the value of --spacing.

Example: Full HTML and CSS Implementation

Here is a complete example demonstrating how to create and use CSS custom properties in an HTML document.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>CSS Custom Properties Example</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
  <header>
    <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
  </header>
  <main>
    <p>This is a paragraph with main text color and spacing.</p>
  </main>
  <footer>
    <p>Footer content here.</p>
  </footer>
</body>
</html>

CSS (styles.css)

:root {
  --main-bg-color: #3498db;
  --main-text-color: #ffffff;
  --secondary-bg-color: #2ecc71;
  --secondary-text-color: #333333;
  --spacing: 16px;
}

body {
  background-color: var(--main-bg-color);
  color: var(--main-text-color);
  padding: var(--spacing);
  margin: 0;
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}

header {
  background-color: var(--secondary-bg-color);
  color: var(--secondary-text-color);
  padding: var(--spacing);
  text-align: center;
}

main {
  padding: var(--spacing);
}

footer {
  background-color: var(--secondary-bg-color);
  color: var(--secondary-text-color);
  padding: var(--spacing);
  text-align: center;
}

Detailed Explanation

  1. Defining Custom Properties:

    • Custom properties are defined within the :root pseudo-class. This is a special selector that matches the document’s root element and allows you to define global variables.
    • Each custom property is prefixed with --.
  2. Using Custom Properties:

    • The var() function is used to retrieve the value of a custom property.
    • Custom properties can be used in any CSS property.
  3. Benefits:

    • Reusability: Custom properties can be reused throughout your CSS, reducing redundancy.
    • Maintainability: Changes to custom properties automatically propagate to all instances where they’re used.
    • Dynamic Styling: Custom properties can be updated dynamically using JavaScript for responsive or interactive designs.
  4. Fallback Values:

    • You can provide a fallback value for var(), in case the custom property is not defined.
body {
  background-color: var(--main-bg-color, #000000);
}

In this example, if --main-bg-color is not defined, #000000 will be used as the background color.

Conclusion

CSS custom properties (variables) are a powerful feature for managing and maintaining your styles efficiently. By understanding how to create and use them, you can write more modular and scalable CSS.
