Study Notes

CSS Summary

  • CSS is a stylesheet language that dictates the display of HTML (or XML) documents.
  • It determines how elements appear on screens, in print, or other media.
  • This language streamlines development by enabling consistent formatting across multiple web pages simultaneously.

CSS Syntax

  • CSS rules consist of a selector and a declaration block.
  • The selector targets HTML elements to style.
  • The declaration block includes property-value pairs separated by semicolons.
  • Properties define the aspect to modify, (e.g., color, font-size).
  • Values specify how to modify the property (e.g., blue, 12px).
  • Curly braces enclose the declaration block.

Ways to Insert CSS

  • Inline: Styles are directly applied to individual HTML elements using the style attribute.

  • Internal: Styles are defined within an HTML document's <head> using a <style> element. This applies styles only to the page where it is located.

  • External: Separate CSS files (*.css) store styles. This provides greater organization and enables style reuse across multiple web pages using a link in the <head> tag. This is the most common method.

CSS Selectors

  • Element Selector:
    • Targets HTML elements by their type (e.g., h1, p).
  • Class Selector:
    • Targets HTML elements with a shared class name (e.g., .center, .important).
  • ID Selector:
    • Targets individual HTML elements identified by unique IDs (e.g., #header).

Divs and CSS

  • DIV Elements: Grouping HTML elements for styling or layout.
  • CSS Classes: Reusable styles applied to multiple elements.
  • Class Usage: Add class attributes to HTML elements.
  • Styling Classes: Include the class name in the CSS with a dot (.) before the name. (# for IDs).

Divs and CSS Example

  • Example of how code uses classes in HTML elements and specifies styling in CSS.

Key Points

  • Use divs to logically group content and sections.
  • Utilize classes for reusable and consistent styling across multiple elements.
  • Use IDs to style specific individual elements with unique styling.
