Another week goes by

Not a good week........ laying out a web page with CSS divs and getting it to work in both Internet Explorer and Firefox is a frustrating task..... hope Microsoft's promise that IE 8 is standardized is true...... also am suffering terrible indigestion from following our teachers instructions... printed sheets (although good quality) play havoc with my stomach and I suspect the enemy still has an advantage....

Never

SO YOU... use tables for laying out your web pages, constantly make your headings from images, favour xhtml transitional, worship Internet Explorer, believe an I.D. is a common everyday identifier, and espouse that open source is a scourge on society.......
OUT OUT of the class now...........
do not return.... until you wipe the slate clean

margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px
or hide.... your face
.hideme {
visibility: hidden;
}

Tips I acquired .......

A div is basically a rectangular container that we can position using CSS.

BODY

div id=”page-container"

CSS

#page-container="page-container" {

width : 760px ; (sets whole page)

margin : auto ; (centers div)

}

An ID is a unique identifier that we use for things that are only going to occur once on the page. eg headers, footers, navigation. For recurring elements like links we use classes.

Html and body tags have default margins and padding on browsers, so set rule

html, body {

margin: 0;

padding: 0;

}

The comma means “or”

As content is added to this div it automatically changes height to fit.

A float is an element that is aligned against the left or right side of its container.
