    Lets do it with Style


    Cascading Style Sheets are used to vary color, font, size and other properties of elements in your page(s) CSS eliminates redundant coding

    Define the rules only once

    CSS helps you keep all pages in your site consistent


    Use the same rules on every page Note to those with html experience: elements for bold, italics, frames and other presentation stuff have been deprecated in favor of CSS. They work, but should be avoided.

    Anatomy of a Rule
    Selector: element tag or part of the page to which the rule is applied

    Property values: the real specifics of the aspect

    H1{ font-family: Arial Black, font-style: italic, color: #FF0000}

    Properties: the aspect of the element being set


    enclosed in brackets separated by commas have values Specified after the colon Terms with spaces are enclose in quotes

    So where do I put the rules?

    Lets start with External Style Sheets

    You can build one that works for ALL of your companys pages!

    Open a new Notepad file


    Enter all the rules you need (yes, you can have many of them in one Style Sheet) Save as a .css file

    Add the extension to the filename Remember to select all files!

    Here is an example

    Separate the rules for the same selector with a semicolon Pepper liberally with comments to help you figure out what you were trying to do later! Color names Safe fonts

    Link the structure with the presentation

    Name of your style sheet

    No comments about my artistic design capabilities, please! If you can do better, SHOW ME!

    Other Properties you should know

    font-size align decorate text (underline, line through, overline) indent boldness style (italics) All font properties at once Background image For a complete list, refer to the W3C

    Lets add an Internal/Embedded

    Style

    External CSS file

    specify styles that are inherited by all pages that use it


    Are coded in the <head> of the page Apply only to the page that contains the embedded style Will override any style property specified in an external file Should be limited only to page-specific formatting!

    Internal/Embedded Styles

    If multiple pages will use it, put it in an external CSS to eliminate redundant code

    How do I set it up?


    Set up the style tags Add the rule(s)

    Fancier stuff

    Using style classes


    When you have one type of tag but want to use multiple different styles. Can be used with external or embedded styles

    Inline Styles
    USE SPARINGLY IF AT ALL For occasional short text that is unique in the overall web site and unlikely to be used elsewhere Specify the style right in the tag!

    <p style="color: green; font-family: serif "> This is a short text </p>
    Style is an attribute of the tag
    Rules are used like attribute values

    What about changing a word?


    Set up a style that spans something other than the usual elements. Span is a special type of element

    <p> This sentence contains a <span style="font-size:150%"> big </span> word </p>
    Span tags

    Rule

    Altogether now...
    Embedded/Internal Style sheet

    Inline Style

    Inline using the <span> tag

    What about your inheritance?


    Scope
    Elements on all pages

    Browser

    Defaults
    External

    Precedence
    Used if there are no overrides

    Elements on a single page

    Embedded

    Overrides external styles

    Single element

    In-line

    Overrides all other styles

    Your turn
    You now have the tools to enhance your pages. Time to get to work!
