6. What does the `onclick` function do in HTML and JavaScript?

appear in front.

position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
}

9. What are Media Queries in CSS, and how are they used for

Event Delegation is a technique where a single event listener is attached to a parent element
to manage events on child elements.

if (event.target && event.target.matches('button.classname')) {
alert('Button clicked!');
}
});
