Study Notes

Box Model

Content: The inner part of the box, displaying text or images. Width and height define its size.
Padding: Space between content and border. Controllable individually for each side (top, right, bottom, left) or all at once. Transparent, doesn't affect background.
Border: The line surrounding padding and content. Settings include width, style (e.g., solid, dashed), and color. Can be different from content or padding. Part of the element's background.
Margin: Space outside the border. Transparent, doesn't affect background or parent element. Creates space around an element. Controls space between elements.

CSS Colors

Color Names: Predefined color names (e.g., red, blue, green), 140 in total.
Hexadecimal: Six-digit hexadecimal value (#rrggbb), represents red, green, and blue intensities (00-ff, or 0-255 decimal). Example: #ff0000 is red.
RGB: Function rgb(red, green, blue), specifying color using red, green, and blue intensities (0-255). Example: rgb(255, 0, 0) is red.
RGBA: Function rgba(red, green, blue, alpha), adding alpha (opacity) values (0-1). Example: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5) is semi-transparent red.

CSS Floating

Float Values:
- left: Floats element to the left of its container.
- right: Floats element to the right of its container.
- none: Prevents floating, element displays in its natural position.
- inherit: Inherits the float property from the parent element.
Use Case: Primarily used to wrap text around images or other elements.

CSS Positioning

Static: Default behavior; element positions itself based on normal document flow.
Relative: Element positions itself relative to its normal position. Offset using top, right, bottom, and left.
Fixed: Element positions itself relative to the viewport. Remains in the same place regardless of scrolling.
Absolute: Element positions itself relative to its closest positioned ancestor or initial containing block. Offset using top, right, bottom, and left.
Sticky: Element positions itself according to the normal flow of the document, then relative to its nearest scrolling ancestor. Useful for creating sticky header or footer elements.

CSS Border

Shorthand: border: [width] [style] [color]; Combines border width, style, and color in a single declaration
Individual Properties: border-width, border-style, border-color allow individual control over border properties.
Border Radius: Property (border-radius) rounds corners of border.

CSS Font

Properties: font, font-style, font-variant, font-weight, font-size, line-height, font-family collectively define the look of the text.

- normal, small-caps, bold, numeric font-weight values define weight
- px, pt, em, relativesize font sizes and units
- default, numeric line-height values define line-height
- font-family list of font-family choices (e.g., Arial, sans-serif)
