What are the advanced techniques for using Flexbox and Grid?

Advanced techniques for Flexbox include using the 'flex' property for dynamic layouts and 'align-self' for individual item alignment. For Grid, consider using 'grid-template-areas' for complex layouts and 'minmax()' for responsive sizing.

Can you explain how to use grid-template-areas?

Sure! 'grid-template-areas' allows you to define named areas in your grid layout. You can assign grid items to these areas using the 'grid-area' property, making it easier to visualize and manage your layout.

What are some common pitfalls when using these techniques?

Common pitfalls include not accounting for browser compatibility, overusing nested flex or grid containers, and failing to test responsiveness across different screen sizes.

How do I decide when to use Flexbox vs Grid?

Use Flexbox for one-dimensional layouts (either row or column) and Grid for two-dimensional layouts where you need to control both rows and columns.
