Objective: Fulfill the user stories below and get all the tests to pass to complete the lab.

User Stories:

  1. Your tribute page should have a main element with a corresponding id of main, which contains all other elements.
  2. You should see an element with an id of title, which contains a string (i.e. text), that describes the subject of the tribute page (e.g. "Dr. Norman Borlaug").
  3. You should see either a figure or a div element with an id of img-div.
  4. Within the #img-div element, you should see an img element with a corresponding id="image".
  5. Within the #img-div element, you should see an element with a corresponding id="img-caption" that contains textual content describing the image shown in #img-div.
  6. You should see an element with a corresponding id="tribute-info", which contains textual content describing the subject of the tribute page.
  7. You should see an a element with a corresponding id="tribute-link", which links to an outside site, that contains additional information about the subject of the tribute page. HINT: You must give your element an attribute of target and set it to _blank in order for your link to open in a new tab.
  8. Your #image should use max-width and height properties to resize responsively, relative to the width of its parent element, without exceeding its original size.
  9. Your img element should be centered within its parent element.

Note: Be sure to link your stylesheet in your HTML and apply your CSS.

          <li>
            <strong>1941</strong> - Tries to enroll in the military after the

            plant pathology program. Over the next 16 years, his team breeds
            6,000 different strains of disease resistant wheat - including
            different varieties for each major climate on Earth.
          </li>
          <li>
            <strong>1945</strong> - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each

          </li>
          <li>
            <strong>1953</strong> - crosses a short, sturdy dwarf breed of wheat
            with a high-yielding American breed, creating a strain that responds
            well to fertilizer. It goes on to provide 95% of Mexico's wheat.
          </li>
          <li>
            <strong>1962</strong> - Visits Delhi and brings his high-yielding
            strains of wheat to the Indian subcontinent in time to help mitigate

            <strong>2005</strong> - states "we will have to double the world
            food supply by 2050." Argues that genetically modified crops are the
            only way we can meet the demand, as we run out of arable land. Says
            that GM crops are not inherently dangerous because "we've been
            genetically modifying plants and animals for a long time. Long
            before we called it science, people were selecting the best breeds."
          </li>
          <li><strong>2009</strong> - dies at the age of 95.</li>
