HTML vs CSS• HTML5

– Provides the structural foundation of a webpage– However, it lacks an important element of ______

appeal such as color, formatting text and adding margins, borders, and shadows.

• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)– Determines the __________ for a webpage– CSS can format a webpage in an unlimited number of

ways: a) change background color, b) increase size of text

or bolding, c) apply margins to a section, and d) add borders to elements

formatting

visual


• Style – It is a _____ that defines the appearance of an element on a webpage

• Style sheet – It is the set of CSS style rules• Style sheets provide a means to separate style from

content (described in html code) because it gives the flexibility to redesign or rebrand a website

• A single CSS style sheet file containing the defined styles can be attached to several webpages to apply the styles to all the attached pages

Using Cascading Style Sheets

CSS file vs. HTML file

ContentStyles manages “visual” effects


• To center all of the elements of a webpage using a single style rule, set the left and right margins to auto

• In addition, set the width to 80% so that the elements do not span 100 percent of the browser window (i.e., __% room reserved for each side).

To Center Content

<!– in fitness04.html --> <body><div id="container">……</div></body>

/* Style for container centers the page and sets the element width */#container {

width: 80%;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;

}

More about selector and a declaration will be explained later.

Explain the handout on about.html & styles.css


• Comments provide additional information about the area where the styles are applied or other helpful explanations, such as what the styles do

• The syntax for a comment is as follows:/* Place your comment here */

Adding Comments to CSS Files


• Style sheets are said to “cascade” because each type of style has a specified level of precedence (or priority) in relationship to the others

• CSS properties can be inherited from a parent element through a principle called inheritance

• If a selector has more than one CSS rule, specificity determines which CSS rule to apply

Style Sheet Precedence


• Each CSS rule consists of a selector and a declaration• A declaration consists of a property and a value, separated by a colon and

followed by a semicolon

CSS Basics

what to style defines the exact formatting of the style

• The property identifies the style quality or characteristic to apply, such as – color (text color)– background-color– text-indent– border-width– font-style


CSS Syntax• A CSS rule-set consists of a selector and a declaration block:

• The selector points to the HTML element you want to style.• The declaration block contains one or more declarations

separated by semicolons.• Each declaration includes a CSS property name and a value,

separated by a colon.• A CSS declaration always ends with a semicolon, and

declaration blocks are surrounded by curly braces.

footer { font-size: .70em; text-align: center; margin-top: 20px; }


• A style rule begins with a selector, which specifies the element to style

• A selector can be – an HTML element name, i.e., four basic semantic elements– an id attribute value e.g., <div id="container">– a class attribute value, e.g., <img class="equip" … >

• An id or a class selector is used to apply styles to p elements

Selectors

See more on p.152; 165


• An id selector uses the id attribute value of an HTML element to select a single element

• For example, to style the div id="container" element (in the *.html file), use #container (in styles.css file) as the selector

Selectors (continued)



}


• A class selector is used to select elements that include a certain class attribute

• For example, to style class=“equip“ (in *.html file), use .equip (in styles.css file) as the selector (see next slide)

Selectors (continued 1)

.equip {float: left;padding-right: 20px;}


<img class="equip" src="images/equipment1.jpg" alt="Weight Equipment" height="195" width="260">

.equip {float: left;padding-right: 20px;

}float (display) on the left side padding on the right

from the image class

ul { margin-bottom: 50px; list-style-position: inside; }


To style the div id="container" element, _____ is used as the selector.

a. .container b. #container c. :container d. %container

ANSWER: ________ b


• The header section appears at the top of a webpage and thus needs formatting that makes the header contents stand out and attract visitors to the page

• The nav section should be formatted differently from the other structural elements as it should be prominent and easy to find on the webpage

• The main section should be formatted using the display property

Creating Style Rules for Structural Elements


• To apply text and box model properties to the main section and have them appear as intended, the display property is used

• Create a style rule that formats the footer section by defining the font size, text alignment, and top margin of the footer element

Creating Style Rules for Structural Elements (continued)

}

CSS Text Properties


To Create a Style Rule for the Main Element

Figure 4-24


To Create a Style Rule for the Footer Element


• Consider the following example: (in about.html)

<img class="equip" src="images/equipment1.jpg" alt="Weight Equipment" height="195" width="260">

– The img element displays the equipment1.jpg image– The first attribute and value, class="equip", assigns this

element to the equip class– Including the class="equip" attribute and value in each

img element helps format all the elements assigned to the equip class with a single style rule

Creating Style Rules for Classes

Note: ‘equip’ can be ‘equip-1’ or ‘equip-2’ etc.


• To indicate a class name as a selector, include a period (.) before the class name

• Float property – It positions an element to the right or left of other elements

• Clear property – It removes the float effect from a webpage

Creating Style Rules for Classes (continued)


For example, the following style rule adds 20 pixels of padding to the right side of elements in the equip class:

Creating Style Rules for Classes (continued 1)

.equip {float: left;padding-right: 20px;

}

• The CSS list-style properties are used to control the appearance of numbered and bulleted lists

• Lists marked with the <ul> and </ul> tags display a solid bullet before each list item

• Lists marked with the <ol> and </ol> tags display Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, and so on) before the list items

• For example,ul {

list-style-type: square; /* or circle */list-style-position: inside; /* outside*/list-style-image: url(arrow.png);

}

Using CSS List Properties


http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_list-style.asp


CSS list-style property




• The list-style-position property specifies if the list-item markers should appear inside or outside the content flow.

• Outside: Keeps the marker to the left of the text. The bullets appears outside the content flow. This is default.

• Inside: Indents the marker and the text. The bullets appear inside the content flow

• After creating a CSS file, link it to all the webpages that will use its styles

• Insert a link element on the HTML page within the <head> and </head> tags

• The link element uses two attributes:– rel– href

• The rel attribute uses the stylesheet value to indicate that the document is linked to a style sheet

Linking an HTML Document to a CSS File


• The href attribute value specifies the file path or file name of the CSS file

• Following is an example of a link to a style sheet named styles.css and stored in the css folder:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">• The type="text/css" attribute and value is also commonly

used within a link element to reference a CSS file

Linking an HTML Document to a CSS File (continued)

Using Style Sheets

• CSS supports three types of style sheets (and precedence):– inline:

• to change the style within an individual HTML tag

• overrides embedded and external style sheet– embedded (internal) – not recommended for CSS3

• to change the style of one Web page• overrides external style sheets

– external (or linked)• to change the style of multiple pages in a web

site


• Inline style – It is used to add a style to the start tag for an element, such as a heading or paragraph, using the style attribute

Inline Styles

<a href="#top"><span style="font-size:small; color:bluewhale;">Go to the Top of the Page! </span></a>

Do you have any “inline styles” in your previous HWs? (Web2)


In <h1 style="font-color: navy">Special Note</h1>, the _____ is everything between the quotation marks.

a. tagging note b. declaration c. style rule d. marked up text

http://barney.gonzaga.edu/~chenta/html04/class_demo_styles/inline_styles_example.html


• An embedded style sheet, also called an internal style sheet, includes the style sheet within the opening <head> and closing </head> tags of the HTML document

Embedded (Internal) Style Sheets

<head><title>Forward Fitness Club</title><style> body {background-color:lightgrey;} h1 {color:blue;} p {color:green;}</style> </head>


Embedded (Internal) Styles - example<!DOCTYPE html><!– embedded example: internal_embedded_styles_example.html --><html><head><style>body {background-color: lightgray;}h1 {color: blue;}p {color: green;}</style></head><body><h1>This is a heading</h1><p>This is a paragraph.</p></body></html>

Available in /html04/class_demo_styles/http://barney.gonzaga.edu/~chenta/html04/class_demo_styles/internal_embedded_styles_example.html

However, ‘embedded’ styles is not recommended by CSS3

http://barney.gonzaga.edu/~chenta/html04/class_demo_styles/internal_embedded_styles_example.html




• An external style sheet – It is a CSS file that contains all of the styles that can be applied to more than one page in a website

• External style sheets are also called linked style sheets

• An external style sheet is a text file with the .css extension

• To apply an external style sheet, link it (or attach it) to a webpage using a link in the head section of the webpage

External Style Sheets


• External style sheet provides flexibility to quickly change webpage formats because the styles used in it are applied to every page linked to it

• Changing the look of an entire website is sometimes called reskinning the website

• HTML elements are positioned on the webpage as a block or as inline content

• A block element appears as a block because it starts and ends with a new line, such as the main element or a paragraph element

• Inline elements are displayed without line breaks so they flow within the same line (see skistyles04.css)

• Inline content always appears within block elements

Understanding Inline Elements and Block Elements

li { list-style-type: none; /*remove bullets on list items*/ display: inline; /*display list items as inline vs. block*/ }

<li><a href="events.html">Events</a> | </li><li><a href="lessons.html">Lessons</a> | </li><li><a href="snowreports.html">Snow Reports</a> | </li><li><a href="employment.html">Employment</a> </li>

• To indicate a class name as a selector, include a period (.) before the class name

• Float property – It positions an element to the right or left of other elements

• Clear property – It removes the float effect from a webpage

Creating Style Rules for Classes (continued)

.clearfloat { clear: both; }/*clear the float on the class="clearfloat" in the htmlNo floating elements allowed on either the left or the right sideOtherwise, it may be displayed from whatever it was left previously*/
