Tutorial 3 - Working with Cascading Style Sheets

Understanding HTML Styles is critical to your success in our class. With Tutorial 3, your goal is to be able to define, recognize, and use in writing your own HTML -- Inline Styles, Internal Styles, and External Styles. Internal Styles are also called Embeded Styles. Vertually ever WebPage you author from this point forward should make use of all 3 implementations of HTML Styles. Inline styles are for one HTML tag. Internal styles are for one WebPage. Where as, external styles (CSS) are for an entire WebSite.

Proper use of Cascading Style Sheets - CSS - will make your work as a WebMaster much easier. As is documented in Wikipedia, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML. CSS can enable the separation of document content (written in HTML) from document presentation (written in CSS). This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content. CSS can also allow the same webpage page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile devices.

CSS is an important topic, one deserving of your dedicated attention. Tutorial 3 will be the last tutorial covered over 2 weeks. You will note that there is a graded assignment this week, but it is NOT a Case Problem from our textbook. This is the last such assignment. All remaining assignments will be from Case Problems at the end of each TextBook Tutorial.

During the remainder of our semester we will cover Tutorials 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 in one week each. Our Site Index has links to all the remaining assignments. Our text is well organized and each Tutorial builds on what is learned in previous Tutorials.
