Lita Beiris’ Jurmala House Inspiration – Santa
This HTML snippet represents a photo gallery section on a website (likely santa.lv, based on the URLs). Let’s break down what’s happening:
1. <style> Block:
This contains CSS rules specifically for the colorbox gallery plugin (a popular lightbox/image gallery solution). The !important declarations are used to override any existing styles that might conflict.Here’s what the styles do:
* .colorbox-gallery #cboxClose .icon-closeLarge: Targets the close button within the colorbox gallery.
* font-size: 35px !important;: sets the font size of the close button’s icon to 35 pixels.
* height: 40px !important;: Sets the height of the close button to 40 pixels.
* line-height: 20px !critically important;: Sets the line height of the close button to 20 pixels.
* text-indent: 0 !important;: Removes any text indentation from the close button.
* width: 40px !critically important;: Sets the width of the close button to 40 pixels.
* .colorbox-gallery #cboxClose .icon-closeLarge: Targets the close button within the colorbox gallery.
* width: 40px;: Sets the width of the close button to 40 pixels.
* height: 40px;: Sets the height of the close button to 40 pixels.
in essence, this CSS is styling the close button of the Colorbox gallery to be a 40×40 pixel square with a specific font size and line height for its icon.
2. <figure> Element:
* <a data-role="gallery.trigger" ...>: This is the main image that triggers the gallery.
* data-role="gallery.trigger": This is a custom data attribute used by the Colorbox plugin to identify this link as a gallery trigger.
* href="https://www.santa.lv/raksts/personibas/foto-lita-beiris-izrada-jurmalas-maju-kur-gust-iedvesmu-un-energiju-79438/javascript:;": The href attribute is set to a JavaScript placeholder (javascript:;). Colorbox likely intercepts this and handles the gallery opening logic. The URL before javascript:; seems to be the article’s URL.
* style="background-image:url('https://cdn.santa.lv/media/2025/12/2/xlarge/6b83adb5ced7.jpg')": This sets the background image of the link to the large version of the image. This is what the user sees initially.
* aria-label="Atvērt galeriju": Provides an accessibility label for screen readers, indicating that clicking this link will open the gallery. ”Atvērt galeriju” is Latvian for “Open gallery”.
3.<aside> Element:
* This contains thumbnails of the other images in the gallery.
* Each <a> tag within the <aside>:
* data-role="gallery.trigger": Again,
