Study Notes
Purpose of CSS
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) styles and formats HTML documents, influencing visual presentation.
- Key functions include controlling page layouts and maintaining consistent design across websites.
Control Page Layout
- CSS enables precise positioning and arrangement of webpage elements.
- Box Model: Manages margins, borders, padding, and content sizing.
- Flexbox and Grid: Facilitate flexible, responsive element arrangement.
- Positioning: Offers properties like relative, absolute, fixed, and sticky for accurate element placement.
Consistent Page Design
- Ensures uniformity across a website with cohesive typography, colors, spacing, and layouts.
- External Stylesheets: Allow reuse of the same CSS file across multiple HTML pages.
- Global Styles: Employ type selectors (e.g., body, h1) or universal selectors (*) to apply styles universally.
- CSS Custom Properties: Define and reuse values for colors, fonts, etc.
Referencing CSS within HTML
- Inline Style: CSS is added directly in HTML elements with the style attribute; great for single-element styling but less maintainable for larger projects.
- Internal Style: CSS is placed within the <style> tag in the of an HTML document, ideal for styling a single page but can cause duplication.
- External Style: CSS exists in a separate .css file linked to the HTML document; best for managing styles in larger projects.
Folder Structure
- An organized folder structure enhances maintainability and resource management.
- Simplifies creation, editing, and viewing of projects for oneself and others.
- Example structure:
/project-root ├── /css │ └── main.css ├── /images │ └── ayanokoji.png │ └── kei karuizawa.png ├── /js └── index.html
Naming Convention
- Use intuitive naming conventions for easy file identification and organization.
- Computers arrange files by name; effective naming supports efficiency.
- Examples include date formats (YYYYMMDD), experiment numbers (001, 002), and versioning (v_01, v_02).
Relative Path
- A relative path indicates a file's location relative to the current webpage.
-
Example Setup:
- Absolute path refers to files in the same folder as the current page.
- Relative paths may point to folders (like images) situated within the current folder structure.
