EDTEC 475 - Cascading Style Sheets Level 1

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is rapidly overtaking HTML as the layout and design language of choice on the internet. Extremely flexible, fast loading, easy to write, and with increasingly solid support from the major browsers, this tool is a must-have in your toolbox. CSS is a simple mechanism for adding additional display properties to structured documents such as HTML/XHTML. It offers greater control and flexibility, similar to traditional print layout, for a much richer document appearance. By separating the presentation style of documents from the document content, CSS simplifies web authoring and site maintenance. In this hands-on coding class, students learn how to take advantage of CSS for visual formatting, including: text, fonts, colors and backgrounds, boxes and borders, lists, and simple positioning.
