Study Notes
CSS Basics Introduction
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) separate web site content from style.
- XHTML files arrange content, while CSS handles presentation (fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc.)
Internal Stylesheet
- CSS code placed within
<head>
tags of an XHTML file. - Each XHTML file contains the CSS code needed for its style. This means changes require editing each file accordingly.
- Useful for single-page styling or when different pages have varying styles.
- Example code included.
External Stylesheet
- Separate CSS file (.css extension).
- No (X)HTML in the file; only CSS code.
- Link to the external CSS file in the
<head>
section of every XHTML file you want to style. - This makes it easier to maintain styles for multiple pages, because edits are only made to one file.
- Example code included using
<link>
and@import
methods.
Cascading Order
- Inline styles (inside XHTML elements)
- Internal stylesheets (inside
<head>
tags) - External stylesheets
Users with Disabilities
- External stylesheets allow users with disabilities to customize the site by adjusting text size or color.
- Users have different preferences.
Power Users
- Stylesheets are beneficial for manipulating styles and reading web documents.
- This is useful for web developers and advanced users who need to swap or change styles within the site.
Browser Issues
- Different browsers will render and display CSS differently, so this must be considered and accounted for.
