To the right is the tweet embed that will be used as a practical example. Some of the elements would look better with a different layout. The last challenge demonstrated display: flex. Here you'll add it to several components in the tweet embed to start adjusting their positioning.

--instructions--

Add the CSS property display: flex to all of the following items - note that the selectors are already set up in the CSS:

header, the header's .profile-name, the header's .follow-btn, the header's h3 and h4, the footer, and the footer's .stats.

--hints--

Your .follow-btn should be rendered on the page. Be sure to turn off any extensions such as ad blockers.

js
const followButton = document.querySelector('.follow-btn');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(followButton)['display'];
assert.isNotNull(followButton);
assert.notStrictEqual(displayStyle, 'none');

Your header should have a display property set to flex.

js
const header = document.querySelector('header');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(header)['display'];
assert.strictEqual(displayStyle, 'flex');

Your footer should have a display property set to flex.

js
const footer = document.querySelector('footer');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(footer)['display'];
assert.strictEqual(displayStyle, 'flex');

Your h3 should have a display property set to flex.

js
const h3Element = document.querySelector('h3');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(h3Element)['display'];
assert.strictEqual(displayStyle, 'flex');

Your h4 should have a display property set to flex.

js
const h4Element = document.querySelector('h4');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(h4Element)['display'];
assert.strictEqual(displayStyle, 'flex');

Your .profile-name should have a display property set to flex.

js
const profileName = document.querySelector('.profile-name');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(profileName)['display'];
assert.strictEqual(displayStyle, 'flex');

Your .follow-btn should have a display property set to flex.

js
const followButton = document.querySelector('.follow-btn');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(followButton)['display'];
assert.strictEqual(displayStyle, 'flex');

Your .stats should have a display property set to flex.

js
const stats = document.querySelector('.stats');
const displayStyle = window.getComputedStyle(stats)['display'];
assert.strictEqual(displayStyle, 'flex');
