Web Design Advanced
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow Web page designers the ability to separate content from layout. This course begins with the basics of creating and using styles. Those initial concepts are then built upon to illustrate how powerful styles can be. For instance, styles can be used to modify the way standard HTML tags are expressed, to layer text and images, to position content anywhere on the page without using cumbersome tables or to create easily edited drop-down menus. Changes in one style sheet can reformat an entire Web site. Mastering styles frees designers from the confines of standard HTML. Prerequisites: Basic HTML coding experience and a good understanding of file management. Books included
