Study Notes
Lists, Tables, and Forms
- CSS properties are designed for HTML elements like lists, tables, and forms.
-
list-style-type
property controls the marker (e.g., disc, circle, square) in ordered (<ol>
) or unordered (<ul>
) lists.
List Styles
-
list-style-type: none;
removes markers. -
list-style-type: disc;
uses disc markers (unordered lists). -
list-style-type: circle;
uses circle markers (unordered lists). -
list-style-type: square;
uses square markers (unordered lists). -
list-style-type: decimal;
uses numbers for ordered lists (e.g., 1. Item). -
list-style-type: decimal-leading-zero;
uses numbers with leading zeroes for ordered lists (e.g., 01. Item). -
list-style-type: lower-alpha;
uses lowercase letters (e.g., a. Item). -
list-style-type: upper-alpha;
uses uppercase letters (e.g., A. Item). -
list-style-type: lower-roman;
uses lowercase roman numerals (e.g., i. Item). -
list-style-type: upper-roman;
uses uppercase roman numerals (e.g., I. Item). -
You can use Unicode escape sequences (e.g.,
\1F44D
) to include special characters like emojis in CSS. -
list-style-image
property lets you specify an image as a bullet point.
Styling Tables
-
border-collapse: collapse;
combines table cell borders into one border. -
Add
border: 1px solid black;
to a table,<th>
, or<td>
to add borders around the table and cells. -
You can also use
width: 100%
andfont-family
for better formatting.
Styling Forms
- Using
placeholder
text instead of a label. - Make forms accessible using
aria-label
for screen readers
Styling Buttons
- Use
linear-gradient
for background styling. - Use
box-shadow
for shadow effects, such asbox-shadow: 0 0 20px #eee;
. -
border-radius
creates curved corners. - Avoid default borders (
border: none;
), and adjustbackground-position
for smooth hover effects, such asbackground-position: right;
.
Styling Textareas
- Use to disable spellchecking
- Use
min-height
to avoid re-sizing the text area.
Styling Dropdowns
- Customizing
select
elements is done using CSS to style appearance and placeholder. -
padding
,border
,border-radius
, andbackground-color
can affect visual appearance - Use
cursor: pointer;
for a pointer cursor (this is often explained in next pages/sections)
Positioning and Layouts
- Normal flow: elements stack vertically. Use
position: static
- Relative positioning: elements remain in their normal flow position, but can be adjusted from there using
top
,right
,bottom
,left
. - Absolute positioning: elements are remove from the normal flow, allowing elements to overlap and be positioned in relation to their nearest ancestor element that uses relative or absolute positioning.
- Fixed positioning: elements stay in a fixed position on the page, even when scrolling.
- Sticky positioning: elements behave like relative, but once a specified scroll threshold is reached, they "stick" like a fixed element (useful for navigation).
- Flexbox layouts: control alignment, distribute space, and arrange items in rows or columns
-
flex-direction
: controls the direction of the main axis (row, column, row-reverse, column-reverse)
-
-
flex-wrap
: determines how items wrap (e.g.,wrap
,nowrap
) -
flex-basis
: sets the initial size of a flex item -
flex-grow
: dictates how items expand when available space is present -
flex-shrink
: dictates how items shrink when the required space is not present - Flex shorthands:
flex-flow
(combinesflex-direction
andflex-wrap
) - Aligning flex items:
justify-content
(horizontal alignment),align-items
(vertical alignment)`
Overlapping Elements
-
z-index
: controls the stacking order of overlapping elements (higher values appear on top).
