The Box Model
Every element in your web page is a rectangular box. This box consists of 4 distinct parts:
- the content
- the padding
- the border
- the margin
Margin vs. padding
What's the difference? Experiment!
NEsted elements
Elements can be nested inside of one another... We use indentation to visually communicate this nested hierarchy.
css Combinators
display types
The CSS display property has three main options, and it's important to know how those options alter the orientation and the flow of elements on the page.
1. display: block;
2. display: inline;
3. display: inline-block;
Making the case for a reset
- reset.css
- normalize.css
