CSS: A Complete Web Style Toolkit Present your web content the way you want it!
The nature of the web today means there is an expectation for sites to deliver professional-looking, accessible and cost-effective content. Couple this with the need to provide easily maintained web pages - that also meet the current publishing standards - and you have just some of the reasons that make CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) into an essential toolkit that all web authors should have at their disposal.
By exploring the core concepts and techniques - and in some cases their limitations - you will leave equipped with a practical understanding of the most useful tools that CSS offers the web developer. You can then immediately start to use them to build creative, accessible, standards-compliant style into your own web sites.
Topics:
- Constructing style sheets and style rules
- HTML structure for CSS (DIV, SPAN, CLASS and ID)
- The CSS box model - margins, padding and borders
- CSS for page layout - positioning, stacking and floats
- The CSS Cascade - inheritance and multiple style sheets
- Alternative & Media specific style sheets
- Standards and browser compatibility
By the end of the workshop participants will have:
- Explored the key methods for incorporating CSS style in web pages
- Used a range of CSS style rules to control the appearance of HTML web pages
- Created style sheets to layout and reposition web content
- Used multiple style sheets to build a composite page style
- Created and used media-specific style sheets
