HTML review and CSS Looking stylish!
But first… • Any issues with the reading? • Any questions with the reading?
Today • Using HTML to make a meaningful page • Using CSS to make a nice-looking page • How to use selectors to select specific elements • How to set various properties • How classes can be useful
HTML review • Let's go ahead and make a simple HTML page that represents a summary of blog posts
div and span • Sometimes, we want to create a block element (div) or inline element (span) that isn't one of the predefined meanings • Once we add CSS, these will make a lot more sense
Styling it up • We want to make our blog look a lot more exciting • We are going to add CSS to specify how we want things to look • Let's look at CSS syntax…
Simple selectors • The simplest selector is simply a tag name • For instance, let's write a selector to select all paragraph text…
Simple properties • The simplest properties affect the color of elements • We can set the text color using "color:" • We can set the background color using "background-color:" • Let's see how to represent color, and then start making things pretty
Color: RGB and you • Colors in a computer are represented by a certain amount of red, green, and blue light • These lights combine to form the colors we see • We have one byte for each of R, G, and B • Each can range from 0-255 • We can specify color in a few ways…
Full red • rgb(255, 0, 0) • #ff0000 • #f00 • red • For a full list of named colors, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value • For pure grays, all components are the same • #333, #999 #ccc, etc.
Assigning colors responsibly • Try to assign colors to various selectors so that: • Each article is distinct from other articles • The article text is distinct from the text for the article information and the tags • All text is legible • It doesn't hurt to look at • You probably want selectors for: • section • h2 • p • div • ul
Adjusting font size • To adjust font size, use the property "font-size:" • After the colon, indicate a length • We have different units to choose from: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Values_and_units#Numbers_lengths_and_percentages
