Controlling Layout with CSS
CSS enables you to control the look and layout of a web page much more precisely than you could with HTML alone, but it can be time-consuming to learn. In this innovative workshop, expert developer Candyce Mairs makes it quick and easy, walking you through the process of adding content to a web page and using CSS to position that content. You will learn CSS positioning concepts like the CSS “box model,” “floats,” and “clears,” and gain a deeper understanding of how HTML and CSS work together to create the look of your web page. By speaking the same language as the browser, you will learn to work with the browser to place content accurately and easily.
Topics include:
– Previewing pages in browsers
– Customizing the HTML editor
– HTML vs. CSS: which does what?
– Building the header area
– Adding the navigation menu
– Positioning using a float
– Adding background colors and images
– Comparing the web page to the graphic design
