• What is CSS? This technology styles html so that styling ( CSS ) and structure ( html ) can be separated in pages that you provide for your students. If your style information is outside of your page layout - it is easier for a wider variety of devices to render your pages. This does not only include screen readers but also mobile devices. Also if you load an external style sheet that styles all of your pages - you are only downloading this information once and your site becomes faster for students to use. Web Accessibility is based in separation of structure and styling in web pages.
• There are three ways that style sheets can be connected with page structure. External css pages are connected to an HTML page with the link tag. Also embedded CSS styles can be included in the head region of a web page. Finally styles can be included inline in html statements. While these methods are all right - in terms of faster loading pages that are standards compliant and meet the requirements of the strict Document Type Definition - External style sheets would be the first choice.
• One nice thing about cascading style sheets is that this technology is supported in all browsers. What brings this up is that some browsers may not support XML or xHTML but all browsers support CSS to some degree.
• Implementation of CSS technology is not completely uniform. While all modern CSS browsers support CSS for the CSS3 version the support among browsers is less uniform compared to the support for CSS2. Part of understanding the CSS technology is to know what html elements have CSS3 support in which browsers.
• Free Tutorials are available online demonstrating how web pages can be laid out using CSS that acts like the HTML element Table but is not a table. You might have heard of this approach to web page design as "Table-Less". The ideal purpose for the Table element is to organize data. The Table element began to be used in the early days of the Web to layout pages. With the advent of modern web technology - CSS is being used to layout pages without tables.
• Know that this course is constantly changing as new material is added, and mistakes are corrected. There are many places to find information on the internet that is available on your Wireless pad technology or Smart Phone device.
