Floating Notification

Part of the Styling with CSS section of Coddy's HTML journey — lesson 76 of 76.

Challenge

Easy

In this challenge, you will recreate a floating notification that looks like the image below (or a similar design). This is a recap exercise, so you will apply what you've learned about CSS positioning to correctly place the notification and its close button.

Follow the steps below to style the floating notification:

1. Style the notification box:

Place it near the top of the page, roughly in the middle.
Set a fixed width and add some spacing inside.
Use any colors for the background, font, and borders to create a distinct alert style.
Add rounded corners and a slight shadow to make it stand out.

2. Style the close button:

Place it in the top-right of the notification.
Choose a background and adjust the font size.
Make sure it looks clickable and stands out from the background.

💡 Experiment with colors, spacing, and positioning to achieve the desired design!
