What is the web?
In a nutshell, the web is a whole bunch on
interconnected computers talking to one another.
 The computers (on the web) are typically connected
by phone lines, digital satellite signals, cables, and
other types of data-transfer mechanisms.
 A 'data-transfer mechanism' is a nerd's way of saying:
a way to move information from point A to point B to
point C and so on.
The computers that make up the web can be connected
all the time (24/7), or they can be connected only
periodically.
 The computers that are connected all the time are
typically called a 'server'.
 Servers are computers just like the one you're using
now to read this article, with one major difference,
they have a special software installed called 'server'
software.
Web Design
The skill of designing hypertext presentations of
content that is delivered to an end-user through
the World Wide Web.
The process of designing Web pages, Web sites,
Web applications or multimedia for the Web and
may utilize multiple disciplines, such as animation,
authoring, graphic design, human-computer
interaction, interaction design, photography, and
search engine.
Technologies Involved
 Markup languages (such as HTML, XHTML and
XML)
 Style sheet languages (such as CSS and XSL)
 Client-side scripting (such as JavaScript and
VBScript)
 Server-side scripting (such as PHP and ASP)
 Database technologies (such as MySQL)
 Multimedia technologies (such as Flash and
Silverlight)
 A style sheet language is a computer
language used to describe the presentation of
structured documents.
• A structured document is a document whose
sections are clearly defined and categorized (also
called "well-formed"). A program presenting the
document can present it in different styles because
the content has been categorized.

 One modern style sheet language with wide-


spread use is CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) ,
which is used to style documents written in HTML,
or XHTML and other markup languages.
What is CSS???
CSS is the acronym for: ‘Cascading Style Sheets’
CSS is an extension to basic HTML that allows you to
style your web pages.
Style sheets let you place things exactly where you
want them to be on the page, using the distance in
pixels from the top and the left of the browser window.
 Styles define how to display HTML elements
 Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets
 External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work
 External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files
 Multiple style definitions will cascade into one
Advantages of CSS
CSS is an excellent addition to plain HTML.
 With plain HTML you define the colors and sizes of text and tables
throughout your pages. If you want to change a certain element you will
therefore have to work your way through the document and change it.
With CSS you define the colors and sizes in "styles".
styles As you
write your documents you refer to the styles. Thus, if you change
a certain style it will change the look of your entire site.
CSS offers much more detailed attributes than plain HTML for
defining the look and feel of your site.
Finally, CSS can be written so the user will only need to
download it once - in the external style sheet document. When
surfing the rest of your site the CSS will be cached on the users
computer, and therefore speed up the loading time.
Things to Remember About
CSS:
CSS code is simply written instructions that tells Web
browsers (like FireFox and Internet Explorer) how to
display things on a page.
For example:
 make text bold.
 position things a page.
 set the font style for a page or paragraph etc.
The sister language to CSS is HTML: code that tells
the Web browser WHAT is actually in the page.
HTML file <html>
<head>
A sample HTML
</head>
<body>
<h1>A simple HTML
structure
<br><br>This is
header 1
</h1>
<h2>This is header
2</h2>
<p>This is a
paragraph</p>
Using Style
 Styles are set by adding the TAG:
<STYLE ...>
 This is placed in the <HEAD> section of your page.
CSS Syntax
The CSS syntax is made up of three parts:
1. a selector
selector {property: value}
 The selector is normally the HTML element/tag you
wish to define, the property is the attribute you
wish to change, and each property can take a
value.
2. a property and a value:
 The property and value are separated by a colon,
and surrounded by curly braces:
body {color: black}
CSS Syntax
 Note: If the value is multiple words, put quotes around the
value:
p {font-family: "sans serif"}
 Note: If you wish to specify more than one property, you must
separate each property with a semicolon. The example below
shows how to define a center aligned paragraph, with a red text
color:
p {text-align:center;color:red}
 Note: To make the style definitions more readable, you
can describe one property on each line, like this:
p { text-align: center;
color: black;
font-family: arial }
Grouping
You can group selectors by separating each
selector with a comma.
In the example below we have grouped all the
header elements.
All odd header elements will be displayed in green
text color:
h1,h3,h5 { color: green }
All even header elements will be displayed in
green text color:
h2,h4,h6 { color: yellow}
The class Selector
With the class selector you can define different styles for the
same type of HTML element.
Say that you would like to have two types of paragraphs in
your document: one right-aligned paragraph, and one center-
aligned paragraph. Here is how you can do it with styles:
p.right {text-align: right}
p.center {text-align: center}

You have to use the class attribute in your HTML document:


<p class="right"> This paragraph will be right-
aligned. </p>
<p class="center"> This paragraph will be
center-aligned. </p>
CSS Syntax
Note: To apply more than one class per given
element, the syntax is:
<p class="center bold"> This is a
paragraph. </p>
The paragraph above will be styled by the class
"center" AND the class "bold".
You can also omit the tag name in the selector to
define a style that will be used by all HTML elements
that have a certain class. In the example below, all
HTML elements with class="center" will be center-
aligned:
.center {text-align: center}
CSS Style
In the code below both the h1 element and the p
element have class="center".
This means that both elements will follow the rules in
the ".center" selector:

<h1 class="center"> This heading will be


center-aligned </h1>
<p class="center"> This paragraph will also
be center-aligned. </p>
Add Styles to Elements
with Particular Attributes
You can also apply styles to HTML elements
with particular attributes.
The style rule below will match all input
elements that have a type attribute with a
value of "text":

input[type="text"] {background-
color: blue}
The ID
Selector
You can also define styles for HTML elements
with the id selector. The id selector is defined as
a #.
The style rule below will match the element that
has an id attribute with a value of "green":
#green {color: green}
The style rule below will match the p element
that has an id with a value of "para1":
p#para1
{ text-align: center;
color: red }
How to Insert a Style
Sheet
When a browser reads a style sheet, it will
format the document according to it. There are
three ways of inserting a style sheet:
1. External Style Sheet
 An external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to
many pages. With an external style sheet, you can change the
look of an entire Web site by changing one file.
2. Internal Style Sheet
 An internal style sheet should be used when a single document
has a unique style. You define internal styles in the head
section by using the <style> tag.
3. Inline Styles
 An inline style loses many of the advantages of style sheets by
mixing content with presentation. Use this method sparingly,
such as when a style is to be applied to a single occurrence of
an element.
A. External Style
Sheet-1
Each page must link to the style sheet
using the <link> tag. The <link> tag
goes inside the head section:
<head> <link rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"
/>
</head>
The browser will read the style
definitions from the file mystyle.css, and
format the document according to it.
A. External Style
Sheet-2
An external style sheet can be written in
any text editor. The file should not contain
any html tags. Your style sheet should be
saved with a .css extension.
 An example of a style sheet file is shown below:
hr {color: sienna}
p {margin-left: 20px}
body {background-image:
url("images/back40.gif")}
Creating External CSS
file
 External style sheets allow you to set all the rules for
the entire site in one place, giving your site a
consistent look across all the pages.
• You must create a text file called
mystyles.css.
• Type the styles code below into the file.
• Notice that this code does not have the
<STYLE ...> tag in it:
H2 {
color:red;
font-weight:900;
font-family:sans-serif; }
Example

myCSS.css- External CSS File

OUTPUT of External CSS
B. Internal Style Sheet
You define internal styles in the head
section by using the <style> tag, like
this:
<head> <style type="text/css">
hr {color: sienna}
p {margin-left: 20px}
body {background-image: url("images/
back40.gif")}
</style>
</head>
B. Internal Style Sheet
Note: A browser normally ignores unknown tags like
an old browser that does not support styles, will ignore
the <style> tag, but the content of the <style> tag will
be displayed on the page.

It is possible to prevent an old browser from displaying the


content by hiding it in the HTML comment element:
<head> <style type="text/css“>
<!-- hr {color: sienna}
p {margin-left: 20px}
body { background-image:

url("images/back40.gif") }
--> </style> </head>
C. Inline Styles
 To use inline styles you use the style attribute in the
relevant tag. The style attribute can contain any CSS
property.
 The example below shows how to change the color
and the left margin of a paragraph:
<p style="color: sienna; margin-left:
20px">
This is a paragraph </p>
Single Tag CSS
CSS can be defined for single tags by simply
adding style="styledefinition:styleattribute;"
to the tags.
Single tag CSS is used when the style is used in a
single place on the entire site.
 Look at this example:
<h2 style="font-family:sans-serif;">
Single Tag Example</h2>
It is
<b style="font-size:20px;">NOT</b> me.

 NOTE: You should limit your use of single tag CSS.


Multiple Style Sheets
If some properties have been set for the same
selector in different style sheets, the values will be
inherited from the more specific style sheet.
For example, an external style sheet has these
properties for the h3 selector:
h3
{ color: red;
text-align: left;
font-size: 8pt }
CSS Layers
With CSS, it is
possible to work with
layers: pieces of HTML
that are placed on top
of the regular page
with pixel precision.
