How to Create a Stylish Grid Layout with Only One Tag in HTML

Creating a visually appealing layout for your web applications can sometimes be challenging, especially when you're limited by the HTML structure. One common scenario is displaying multiple items retrieved from a database using a single tag in HTML. In this guide, we’ll explore a solution to this problem, allowing you to effectively present data in a grid layout.

The Problem

Imagine you have a list of books stored in a database. You want to display their titles and prices in a grid format, but you find yourself constrained by the structure of your HTML. Traditionally, examples of grid layouts involve individual elements wrapped in multiple tags. How do you adapt your existing code to achieve the desired outcome?

The Solution

To tackle this issue, the key is to correctly structure your HTML and apply the right styles using CSS. Here’s how you can achieve this step-by-step:

Step 1: HTML Structure

.name and .price: Custom styles for book titles and prices improve visual appeal.

.cart: This class styles the cart button area with a margin to separate it from the price.
