Course Description:

'' HTML and CSS go hand in hand and work together to construct and display professional quality web pages, but they are two separate languages. HTML can include or reference the CSS a number of ways all of which we will investigate in this portion of the class. After this exercise you will be able to:

explain what ’Cascading Style Sheets’ means
set up an HTML document to accommodate styles
place CSS in the appropriate areas of HTML
what a property assignment is - and how to define fonts and colors for the elements on your page
change the appearance of color and fonts for select items
manipulate font styles, weights and variants
validate your HTML and your CSS
Styling Your Entire Page in One Fell Swoop

Once we are prepared to incorporate CSS in our HTML, we turn our attention to controlling multiple items simultaneously using style rules. Using a style sheet in the head of our document, we can specify fonts, colors, backgrounds, type treatment and more for the entire document. You will know how to:

create a style guide for an HTML document
define a ’rule’ that tells the browser how some type of element should appear
modify paragraph properties like line height and letter spacing
change the bullet used by lists using CSS
define an image to be used as a bullet in a list
reference a background image
restrict the repetition of the background image to one axis or altogether
position the background image in the document
Styling Your Entire Site in One Fell Swoop

Although it is handy to be able to control page designs on an individual basis, it is often the case that several pages of a website share the same design. CSS allows you to create a stylesheet that one or more HTML files can employ. While we explore the usefulness of working with external stylesheets, we will also discuss finer selection controls for modifying items on the various web pages. We first explore modifying the link states (link, visited, hover, active) as well as different design elements such as the first letter or first line of some text content. In this training exercise we:

create an external stylesheet for global site design
link to the stylesheet from our HTML file
modify the presentation of the link in different states
alter the appearance of the first letter of all of the paragraphs
learn about font-sizing and the different units of measurement that CSS supports

Exceptional Styles

In our exercises with CSS we have created global rules - that is we have defined the way all paragraphs look or how all bulleted lists appear. In the this exercise, we will learn about mechanisms for dealing with exceptions, for instance modifying one paragraph to look different from the other paragraphs. You will :

learn about the differences between idenfitiers and classes
discover what the requirements for class and id names are
indicate that something belongs to a class
learn how to give elements unique identifiers
use CSS to modify paragraphs by making them members of a class
remove a bullet image from a certain bulleted list
Spacing Properties

Among the most useful properties in CSS are the properties that control the amount of space around an object in the browser window. Sometimes this spacing is provided by the browser and needs to be removed like the space around the whole document that keeps tables from touching the top most corners of a web browser. Other times the browser spacing is insufficient, for instance when you want an indent on a paragraph or more. In this exercise we will

discuss the box properties of margins and padding
show several tricks for displaying the box around any element
learn how to remove default margins or padding on a document and on an element
add margins to an element on a single side to create an indent
add borders to elements
