HTML TAG Tips

  • The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag. don't forget to close them.
  • HTML tags can be nested.
  • The <html> element defines the whole document.
  • The <body> element defines the document body.
  • HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.
  • W3C recommends to use lowercase tags.

CSS

Introduction

WHAT IS CSS?

  • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets

  • CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media

  • CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once

  • External stylesheets are stored in CSS files

CSS Rules

  • color
  • width
  • height
  • margin
  • padding
  • border
  • background
  • font
  • font-weight
  • etc...

CSS Box Model

  • Content - The content of the box, where text and images appear
  • Padding - Clears an area around the content. The padding is transparent
  • Border - A border that goes around the padding and content
  • Margin - Clears an area outside the border. The margin is transparent

CSS selectors

In CSS, selectors are patterns used to select the element(s) you want to style.

CSS Pseudo-classes

A pseudo-class is used to define a special state of an element.

For example, it can be used to:

  • Style an element when a user mouses over it
  • Style visited and unvisited links differently
  • Style an element when it gets focus

Why a reset.css

Even though HTML is the structure and CSS is the design, some HTML elements have default styles

 

Different browsers display these things differently.

A reset css file gets rid of these inconsistencies.

HOW TO MIX

It looks really good to mix to types of fonts. Here are some rules to use this

  • Do not mix 2 of the same category and same generic family

    • (e.i. 2 of humanist serif)

  • It gives harmony if we mix different 2 categories with different types.

    • (e.i. transitional serif con transitional san serif)

Color definition

Red: Heat - Passion - Excitement (tension - Speed - Energy)

Orange: Warmth - Vitality (Reliability - Playfulness)

Yellow: Optimism - Creativity (Sunshine - Happiness)

Green: Serenity - Health  (Nature- Growth - Freshness)

Blue: Security - Truth - Stability (Loyalty - Reliability - Open Communication)

Purple: Spirituality - Inteligence - Wealth (Royal - Sentimental - Creativity - Sophisticated)

Pink: Youthful - Intensity (Energy, Fun, Excitement)

Brown: Durability - Class (Age - Stability - relaxation)

Black: Power - Drama (Serious - Bold - Strong)

White: Simplicity - Cleanliness (Youthful - Mild - Pure)
