Web Publishing: Introduction to Style Sheets 1

 Registration is closed for this event
HTML was not designed to control layout or presentation, yet with a variety of tricks it has been used as such. A more elegant solution does exist: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which allows control of presentation elements, from font faces, sizes and colors to margins, borders, and object placement. In this introductory class, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using styles as well as various ways to incorporate them. Topics include pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, as well as the following properties: font, color, text, and margin.
