The CSS Box Model Please use the <div> to implement a page illustrated below. 1) You can use any color combinations for the border and the background; 2) you can decide the width of the paragraph in the border; 3) when you resize the browser window, the text are automatically wrapped. Figure 2. A sample page Exercise 2: Pseudo Class Selector and Navigation Bar Use <list> to create a vertical “navigation bar”. “Home” is the current page (active), with a green background color and a white text. The other non-active items have a grey background and a white text. When mouse is over a non-active item, the text changes to white with black background. Figure 3 is a demo. Figure 3.

Copyright © 2011 W3C® (MIT, ERCIM, Keio), All Rights Reserved. W3C LIABILITY, TRADEMARK AND DOCUMENT USE rules apply. Abstract This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 (CSS 2.1). CSS 2.1 is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts and spac- ing) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS 2.1 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance. CSS 2.1 builds on CSS2 [CSS2] p. 284 which builds on CSS1 [CSS1] p. 283. It supports media-specific style sheets so that authors may tailor the presentation of their documents to visual browsers, aural devices, printers, braille devices, handheld devices, etc. It also sup- ports content positioning, table layout, features for internationalization and some properties related to user interface.

  • The CSS Box Model
    The CSS Box Model Practical Exercises Overview The CSS Box Model is fundamental to understanding how to use the range of page layout tools that CSS has to offer. By treating all page elements as boxes with dimensions, borders, padding, margins and position, CSS allows the page to be broken down into layout components which may be independent of the content they contain. Information At the end of these tasks you should be able to: Apply borders, margins and padding to elements in an HTML page Centre content in a web page using CSS Use box properties to format other HTML element What you will need to use these materials You only need a text-file editor and a current web browser to start adding CSS to XHTML documents. The exact type(s) and version(s) available to you will depend on your local set up. Common operating system default editors are Notepad (Windows) and TextEdit (MacOSX) and Gedit (Linux). Suitable web browsers include Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Microsoft Internet Explorer. © Copyright information and licensing This material from JISC Netskills Share is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ You are free to download, embed, adapt and share this material within the terms of that license.

  • Web for Everyone Web on Everything Knowledge Base Trust And
    newsletter http://www.w3c.nl Nieuwsbrief maart 2012 Editorial Al jarenlang pleit W3C en met name Tim Bernes Lee voor het openbaar maken van gegevens via Edithet web. Steeds meer overheden geven gehoor aan deze oproep en stellen Open Data via het web beschikbaar. "Onze" vicevoorzitter van de Europese Commissie Neelie Kroes noemt drie redenen waarom open data belangrijk is: het bevordert de ontwikkeling van nieuwe bedrijven, bevordert transparantie van de overheid en leidt tot meer evidence-based beleid. In juni zal een workshop plaatsvinden waar de aandacht gericht is op het gebruik van al deze gegevens (zie "W3C Workshop - Using Open Data: policy modeling, citizen empowerment, data journalism"). Via het web vindt veel uitwisseling van media plaats. Vaak is dat in de vorm van video. Niet altijd is daarbij het gehele bestand nodig, maar is er interesse in slechts een deel van het mediabestand. Media files zijn in het algemeen grote tot zeer grote bestanden. Door fragmenten daarvan aan te kunnen vragen wordt de interactiviteit van applicaties verbeterd en het dataverkeer efficiënt gebruikt (zie "Call for Review: Media Fragments URI 1.0 (basic)"). De komende maand vindt, dit keer in Lyon, de jaarlijkse World Wide Web conferentie plaats. Uiteraard een aanrader voor iedereen die professioneel of vanuit persoonlijke belangstelling met het web te maken heeft (zie "W3C breidt aanwezigheid op WWW 2012 uit"). Fons Kuijk Nieuwsbrieven worden met regelmaat door het W3C Benelux Kantoor uitgegeven. Ze bevatten het laatste nieuws over W3C activiteiten en evenementen die door of in samenwerking met het W3C Benelux Kantoor worden georganiseerd.

  • HTML5, HTML and CSS Course- Level 2
    HTML5, HTML and CSS Course- Level 2 By High School Technology Services myhsts.org Thinking Inside the Box By High School Technology Services myhsts.org Elements as Boxes ▪ All HTML elements can be considered as boxes. In CSS, the term "box model" is used when talking about design and layout. ▪ The CSS box model is essentially a box that wraps around every HTML element. It consists of: margins, borders, padding, and the actual content. The image below illustrates the box model: Elements as Boxes Elements as Boxes ▪ Content - The content of the box, where text and images appear ▪ Padding - Clears an area around the content. The padding is transparent ▪ Border - A border that goes around the padding and content ▪ Margin - Clears an area outside the border. The margin is transparent The box model allows us to add a border around elements, and to define space between elements. E.g. - div { width: 300px; border: 25px solid green; padding: 25px; margin: 25px; } Elements as Boxes ▪ In order to set the width and height of an element correctly in all browsers, you need to know how the box model works. ▪ Assume we want to style a <div> element to have a total width of 350px: ▪ The total width of an element should be calculated like this: Total element width = width + left padding + right padding + left border + right border + left margin + right margin ▪ The total height of an element should be calculated like this: Total element height = height + top padding + bottom padding + top border + bottom border + top margin + bottom margin 320px (width) + 20px (left + right padding) + 10px (left + right border) + 0px (left + right margin) = 350px Elements as Boxes ▪ What if these values are undeclared? ▪ If padding or borders are undeclared, they are either zero (likely if you are using a css reset) or the browser default value (probably not zero especially on form elements that are commonly not reset).
