Study Notes

  • A navigation bar is a list of links, requiring standard HTML and utilizing <ul> and <li> elements.
  • Removing bullets, margins, and padding in <ul> elements involves using list-style-type: none;, margin: 0;, and padding: 0;.

Styling Vertical Navigation Bar

  • Style <a> elements for a vertical navigation bar.
  • display: block; makes the entire link area clickable and allows width specification.
  • Block elements occupy the full available width by default; use the width property to modify.
  • An "Active Class" informs users of the current page.
  • To center links, add text-align:center to the <li> or <a> elements.
  • Use the border property on <a> to add a border around a navigation bar.
  • The border-bottom property applied to all <li> elements except the last child creates borders inside the navigation bar.

Styling Horizontal Navigation Bar

  • Specify <a> elements as inline using display: inline; to create a horizontal navigation bar, removing line breaks.
  • <li> elements are block elements by default.
  • Use float to specify the layout for navigation links.
  • Right-align links by floating the list items to the right (float:right;).
  • Add border-right to <li> to create link dividers.

Position of NavBar

  • A fixed navigation bar remains at the top or bottom of the page during scrolling.
  • A sticky navigation bar alternates between relative and fixed positioning based on scroll position, becoming fixed after a set offset.
  • Internet Explorer lacks support for sticky positioning.
  • Safari requires a -webkit- prefix for sticky positioning.

CSS Dropdown

  • Use any element, such as <a> or <button>, to open dropdown content.

Relative and Absolute Positioning

  • A dropdown button/class uses position: relative;.
  • Dropdown content employs position: absolute;.
  • Dropdown content appears directly below the button.
  • Dropdown content is hidden by default and shown on hover.
  • Setting the width to 100% and overflow:auto ensures the dropdown content width matches the button's and enables scrolling on smaller screens.
  • Add the box-shadow property to make the dropdown menu appear like a card. :hover shows a dropdown menu when hovering over the dropdown button.
  • A dropdown menu allows users to select an option from a list.

CSS Form

  • <form> serves as a container for different input types.
  • <label> defines the name tag for <input> elements.
