What : An introduction to Cascading Style Sheets
Where: Martha's Exchange
Day : Thur 15 Nov **Next Week**
Time : 6:00 PM for grub, 7:30 PM for discussion
:: Overview
A Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) describes the visual presentation of a
document written in a structured markup language. It uses a text tag
inserted into the document before the section it affects. The most
common CSS application is in HTML and XHTML web pages.
Cascading Style Sheets are a way to separate the content and
structure of a web page from the stylistic elements. This allows:
- the style to be changed without changing the content
- better accessibility for folks with visual impairment
- better processing by search engines
- ease of maintenance by letting designers and content producers
to work in parallel
Ted will show why separating CSS from HTML makes sense,
and how to do it. He'll review the basics of what CSS is, how the
elements are combined, what 'cascade' refers to, and how to use CSS to
specify layout using the CSS box model. He'll finish up with some
suggestions on tools to use and references for further study.
