Explore css basics as a style language that defines presentation for structured documents, applying colors, sizes, fonts, layouts, and animations from top to bottom.
*CSS Syntax Overview*
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) syntax is used to control the layout and appearance of web pages.
*Basic Structure:*
1. Selector: Targets HTML elements (e.g., `h1`, `a`, `p`)
2. Property: Specifies the style attribute (e.g., `color`, `font-size`)
3. Value: Defines the property's value (e.g., `red`, `18px`)
4. Declaration: Combination of property and value (e.g., `color: red;`)
5. Declaration Block: Group of declarations enclosed in curly braces (`{}`)
*Syntax Example:*
selector {property: value}
*Example:*
h1 {
color: blue;
font-size: 24px;
}
Apply the tag name selector to style all h1 elements in an HTML document with a shared font size, color, and font family such as Times New Roman.
Discover how the class selector targets specific elements with dot notation, applying styles to headings and paragraphs like font size, and how to reuse class names to style multiple elements.
Learn how the id selector uses a hash and unique ids like country heading, population paragraph, and state paragraph to style specific elements with font size, color, and weight.
Demonstrate how inline elements differ from block elements, using a button and an anchor tag to show width equals content, and no line breaks.
Explore how the width property works in the CSS box model by resizing a parent div from full width to 250 pixel and noting the brown background.
Explore how the CSS margin property creates space outside an element's border, separating it from neighboring elements. Set margins on all sides or use shorthand for top, left, right, bottom.
