The CSS for `body` styles the `` section of your HTML. 2. The CSS for `.card` styles elements in your HTML that have `class="card"`. There are 2 `
` elements that have this class. The first `
` will be a "card" displaying information about your security system (current mode, toggle switch for mode, and time of last motion event). The second `
` will be a "card" displaying a pop-up notification when motion is detected. 3. The CSS for `#motion-alert` styles elements in your HTML that have `id="motion-alert"`. The second `
` has this id name and will be hidden (`display: none`). When a motion event notification is received, your web app JS will use jQuery to briefly show this "card" and then hide it. 4. The rest of the CSS (for `.switch`, `.slider`, and `input`) changes the checkbox input in your HTML to look and act like a toggle switch. ## Preview Web App If you preview the web app at this point, you can see how the CSS has changed the appearance of the web app, but it still doesn't function yet (because there's still no JS in the `code.js` file). If you click your toggle switch, it will change appearance using CSS (but it requires JS to fully function). ![](/files/-LKID86aWzINm2afTZZG) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.idew.org/code-internet-of-things/tutorials/create-security-system/4.8-web-app-css.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
