CSS
From Wikicliki
if your browser is strictly css compliant you will see the smiley face in the Acid 2 test: http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html#top
- link your css externally:
<link rel="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" href="file.css"> - html versions:
- 4.01 strict - means that things like font and link attributes on body and old markup will be removed. use css as well:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> - 4.01 transitional - means that some things like font will be deprecated but others wont. ie: its like saying you can use it now but in later html versions its totally gonna be depreciated. was created in period when css support was not so consistent for all and so had to accept some less strict html 4.01.
- 4.01 strict - means that things like font and link attributes on body and old markup will be removed. use css as well:
- validate your html after that:
- hide your code from older browsers by commenting it out cos ancient browsers display it as a html mess
- use external whereever possible, inline only for small impt bits
- class and ids
- class attribute - fullstop selector
- id attribute - hash selector
- can combine multiple class and id attributes - no spaces between them. eg .thing.stuff will select something with
word
