2 - Exploring the Style Definitions Window
3 - Defining Type Properties
4 - Defining Link Properties
5- Using the O'REILLY CSS Reference and Removing HTML Properties from an Exisiting Document

Homework
1. Create a linked Style Sheet that defines properties for the following tags:

  • body
  • paragraph
  • table data
  • all the link styles
    • a
    • a: link
    • a:active
    • a:hover
    • a:visited
  • at least 2 header tags

EXTRA CREDIT - define properties for the <ul> or <ol> tags and use them in your document! - see above. Interesting how it looks so different in IE 6 and Netscape 4.7.

Question??:
I have to two above browsers installed on my machine. I also have access to IE 4 640x400 resolution at work (when I am working, am on strike at the moment!) Do others have more browsers installed? How many is too many??

This has been fun!!

Can't wait to learn how to make links in different areas a different colour. I have been wanting to learn more about CSS for a while.

I find myself really enjoying these classes. I did have some difficulties creating a style sheet. It would not work with my template file no matter what I tried, so I opened a new document, called it test, and then created my style sheet. When I was happy with it ( I played lots!!) I went and attached it to the template and update the rest of my lesson pages.

Incidentially, all graphics are created using
PhotoImpact 7, my graphic editor of choice!!
