What is Flexbox and how can I use it for layouts?

Flexbox, or the Flexible Box Layout, is a CSS layout model that allows you to design complex layouts easily. It provides a more efficient way to lay out, align, and distribute space among items in a container.

Can you give me an example of how to create a simple layout using Flexbox?

Sure! To create a simple layout, you can use the following CSS:

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}
.item {
  flex: 1;
  margin: 10px;
}

This will create a container with items spaced evenly.

What are some common properties I should know about Flexbox?

Some common properties include display: flex;, flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and flex-wrap. Each of these helps control the layout and alignment of your flex items.

Are there any browser compatibility issues I should be aware of?

Flexbox is widely supported in modern browsers, but older versions of Internet Explorer may have issues. It's always good to check compatibility tables for specific properties.
