    VISA/APCO/STAC 2P61 WEBSITE CREATION Fall Term 2012 __________________________________________________________________________________ CSS 3 - LAYOUT BASICS A FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT – WHAT IS MEANT BY CASCADING The cascade is how CSS resolves conflicts when more than one rule is applied to the same element 4 style sheets applying: Internal styles External styles sheet Internal styles Browserʼs default style sheet Inline will beat out all – WHY? It is lowest in the cascade. Order of CSS rules is important The later a rule appears in a style sheet the more weight it is given MARGINS, BORDERS, PADDING See Ch. 10 – Web Standardistas Book About spacing – the space around our elements The effect the relationship of one element to another. The all important BOX MODEL All elements treated as boxes. Some are block-level Some are inline-level Each box is comprised of a content area and optional margins, borders and padding Up to now these have all be set by the Browserʼs default style all these can be specified The width of an element includes all – e.g. Margin-left + border-left + padding left – element width + padding-right + border-right + margin right Applying margins borders and padding See short html page in Ch. 10 First pass – no margins – fits to left edge of page Second pass - add background colour so we can see the block-level paragraph element Third pass - Before we add margins we must remove margins set by the browserʼs default style sheet. Set margin on body and on p to margin: 0; Once this is done you can add margin: 40 px; This sets margin on all four sides to 40 pixels.

    Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 Revision 1 (CSS 2.1) Specification W3C Editors Draft 26 February 2014 This version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/ED-CSS2-20140226 Latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2 Previous versions: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-CSS2-20110607 http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS2-20080411/ Editors: Bert Bos <bert @w3.org> Tantek Çelik <tantek @cs.stanford.edu> Ian Hickson <ian @hixie.ch> Håkon Wium Lie <howcome @opera.com> Please refer to the errata for this document.

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 spacing) 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] which builds on CSS1 [CSS1]. 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 supports content positioning, table layout, features for internationalization and some properties related to user interface. CSS 2.1 corrects a few errors in CSS2 (the most important being a new definition of the height/width of absolutely positioned elements, more influence for HTML's "style" attribute and a new calculation of the 'clip' property), and adds a few highly requested features which have already been widely implemented.

    05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 3 1 Introducing Cascading Style Sheets Cascading style sheets is a language intended to simplify website design and development. Put simply, CSS handles the look and feel of a web page. With CSS, you can control the color of text, the style of fonts, the spacing between paragraphs, how columns are sized and laid out, what back- ground images or colors are used, as well as a variety of other visual effects. CSS was created in language that is easy to learn and understand, but it provides powerful control over the presentation of a document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup languages HTML or XHTML. These markup languages contain the actual text you see in a web page — the hyperlinks, paragraphs, headings, lists, and tables — and are the glue of a web docu- ment. They contain the web page’s data, as well as the CSS document that contains information about what the web page should look like, and JavaScript, which is another language that pro- vides dynamic and interactive functionality. HTML and XHTML are very similar languages. In fact, for the majority of documents today, they are pretty much identical, although XHTML has some strict requirements about the type of syntax used. I discuss the differences between these two languages in detail in Chapter 2, and I also pro- vide a few simple examples of what each language looks like and how CSS comes together with the language to create a web page. In this chapter, however, I discuss the following: ❑ The W3C, an organization that plans and makes recommendations for how the web should functionCOPYRIGHTED and evolve MATERIAL ❑ How Internet documents work, where they come from, and how the browser displays them ❑ An abridged history of the Internet ❑ Why CSS was a desperately needed solution ❑ The advantages of using CSS 05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 4 Part I: The Basics The next section takes a look at the independent organization that makes recommendations about how CSS, as well as a variety of other web-specific languages, should be used and implemented.
