Week 5–Styles and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
Learning Objectives
- To learn to work with different style options for formatting your elements
- To prepare you for the next big topic in web design: CSS (cascading style sheets)
- To learn and research about web design concepts
Notes
Style—This week’s module focuses on style options: how to format your html elements NOT through using tags like <strong>, <i>, <b>, etc. but through using the style attributes. What’s the difference between tags and the style attributes? Well, while some tags can directly format your text, style attributes give you a lot more options, many of which can’t be done with tags. The html tutorial on style assigned here is a warm up for the next four tutorials on CSS (cascading style sheets).
Although I don’t have specific assignments that focus on CSS, what you learn in the next few tutorials on CSS will benefit you in your own design.
