Automatic Numbering not incrementing

I want to recreate this picture using CSS, And I'm required to write the text using only CSS. I'm not allowed to edit the HTML code the required output

*{
    box-sizing: border-box;
    list-style:none;
    
}
.grid {
    background-color: #ddd;
    padding: 20px;
    width: 800px;
    height: 400px;
    margin: 20px auto;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;
    grid-template-rows: auto 1fr;
    gap: 10px;
    
   

  }
  .grid div{
    padding: 20px;
    background-color: darkgreen;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    list-style-type: none;
  
    
  }
  .grid div::before{
    counter-reset: Element 0;
    counter-increment: Element 1;
    content: "Element " counter(Element);
    color: white;
    justify-content: center;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
  }

        <div></div>
        <div></div>
      </div>

</body>

It keeps showing only "Element 1" I used simple CSS code by resetting the counter and then making an increment of 1. And showing the output in content:counter(Element) this is my output

Solution

  • You need to set counter-reset to parent .grid, also no need to set 0

    Note you can improve your grid-template-columns: auto auto auto, to grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto)

    * {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  list-style: none;
}

.grid {
  background-color: #ddd;
  padding: 20px;
  width: 800px;
  height: 400px;
  margin: 20px auto;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto);
  grid-template-rows: auto 1fr;
  gap: 10px;
  counter-reset: Element;
}

.grid div {
  padding: 20px;
  background-color: darkgreen;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  list-style-type: none;
}

.grid div::before {
  counter-increment: Element;
  content: "Element " counter(Element);
  color: white;
  justify-content: center;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}
    <div class="grid">
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
</div>
