    Barcode so that's basically it with the HTML of our design so let's open this in our browser and let's see how it looks so if you go to extensions here we can see that I have already.

    Installed this extension called live server so if you have the extension installed you can just right click in the HTML file and click on open with live server and here we can see we have.

    The content displayed in the browser now let's go and style this so let's go to the styler CSS file first of all let's select everything and uh let's set the Box sizing to border box so that we have.

    The correct width and height for all the elements and let's add some styles to the body first of all let's add the background color of f4 F4 F4 and let's set the height to 100 vport.

    Height and let's remove the default margins and uh let's bring all this content to the center so I'll just type display of grid Place items to the center and uh now we can see that.

    Everything is in the center now let's go ahead and add some styles to the barcode container so let's type barcode container and let's set the font family to boto.

    Sensor and uh let's set the background color to white let's add a padding of 32 pixels and let's set the Border radius which is rounded Corners to 10.

    Pixels let's add a box Shadow and let's set the values to 0 0 10 pixels rgba 0 0 0 and 0.1 and uh let's set the width to 90% of the screen and we'll also add the max.

    Width so let's St Max width and let's set the max width to 900 pixels and let's set a fixed height and let's set the height to 424 pixels now let's go ahead and set the.

    Display to flex and flex direction to column and let's add a gap of 8 pixels and let's also align items to the center right now let's go and style this H2 so.

    Let's T barcode container H2 and let's set the font size to 32 pixels and let's set the margin bottom to 8 pixels right now let's style this input.

    Field so we have the input field with the class of barcode input so let's type barcode input and let's set the padding to 12 pixels top and bottom 24 pixels left and right.

    Let's set a margin of 10 pixels and a width of 100% and let's set the font size to 16 pixels right now let's style this button so for the button we have this class of.

    Generate BTN so here I'll just type generate BTN and let's set the padding to 12 pixels top and bottom 24 pixels left and right font size of 16 pixels cursor to.

    Pointer let's set the background color to Red let's set the color of the text to White and I we just remove the border and let's add a border radius of 10.

    Pixels now let's also add the horror effect so let's type generate BTN colum hover and let's set the background color to de 0 606 so now we can see we have the horror.

    BTN and now let's add an event listener to this generate BTN Sol step generate bn. addevent listener and let's listen for the click event now when we click on this generate BTN button we need to.
