  2. CSS... • CSS is for giving style to your content • HTML: content • CSS: style • CSS Zen Garden

  3. Adding CSS to your HTML • The best (only way for this class!) way to insert CSS to your HTML is by using an External Style Sheet • Define all your styles in one place • Easily change the look of your site • Use the following <link> tag within the <head> tag • Save your external style sheet as a .css file. <link href=“mystyle.css” rel=stylesheet>

  4. Everyone make a style sheet… • New HTML file in Komodo • New CSS file in Komodo (mystyle.css) • Link CSS file from HTML (in head section!) <link href=“mystyle.css” rel=“stylesheet”>

  5. Syntax (how it looks) • Selector specifies the HTML element to style • Declaration: • always contains a property & value • ends with a semicolon • Property: style element you want to change • Value: what you are changing the property to

  6. Formatting your CSS • Formatting Practices: • some flexibility, but you must be consistent. • always comment unclear code! • /* someCommentHere */ • curly braces • tab alignment • Bad practices: • declarations on the same line as braces or selector • multiple declarations on the same line • leaving off the last ; • What does Komodo help you with? • drop downs • formats • syntax errors
