An Introduction to CSS

Presented by Anthony Piraino at ConvergeSouth 2008

What is CSS and
why should I learn it?

HTML
HyperText Markup Language

Describes the semantics and structure
of content on a web page.

CSS
Cascading Style Sheets

Describes the presentation of content
on a web page by defining design elements
such as layout, fonts, and colors.

How do they work together?

CSS lets you define visual styling by
targeting rules to individual HTML elements.

<html>
<body>
<h1>This is a header</h1>
<p>
Here is a block of
paragraph text, blah
blah blah etc.
HTML </p>
<h2>Another header</h2>
<p>
And yet another paragraph
with a block of text.
</p>
</body>
</html>

body {
font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;
background-color: #ddeedd;
padding: 20px 100px 0px 100px;
}
h1, h2 {
font-size: 1.8em;
color: #88aa44;
margin: 0px;

CSS
}
h2 {
font-size: 1.4em;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
p {
padding: 30px;
margin: 0px;
}

body {
font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;
<body> background-color: #ddeedd;
<h1>This is a header</h1> }

<p> h1, h2 {
Here is a block of font-size: 1.8em;
paragraph text, blah color: #88aa44;
blah blah etc. margin: 0px;
</p> }

h2 {
<h2>Another header</h2> font-size: 1.4em;
<p> padding: 0px 30px 0px 30px;
And yet another paragraph }
with a block of text.
</p> p {
</body> padding: 30px;
margin: 0px;
}

HTML CSS

CSS Syntax

A stylesheet lists rules for presentation.

Each rule consists of a selector and a
declaration block.

The Type Selector

p {
color: #1662d8;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid #1bc8fe;
}

Here is an example paragraph with a
styled font, color, padding and border.

p {
color: #1662d8;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid #1bc8fe;
}

The Class Selector
<p>
This is a normal paragraph, nothing
exciting going on here.
</p>
<p class=”alert”>
But this is a really important
paragraph - pay attention!
</p>

p {
color: gray;
font-size: 12px;
}

p.alert {
color: red;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
}

This is a normal paragraph, nothing
exciting going on here.

But this is a really important
paragraph - pay attention!

The ID Selector
HTML <ul id=”contents”>
<li>Chapter 1</li>
<li>Chapter 2</li>
<li>Chapter 3</li>
</ul>

CSS #contents {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 18px;
}

Descendant Selectors
<p>
This is a stand-alone paragraph.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
A paragraph inside our blockquote.
</p>
<p>
And another blockquoted paragraph.
</p>
</blockquote>

blockquote p {
color: blue;
font-weight: bold;
border-left: 3px solid blue;
padding-left: 10px;
}

This is a stand-alone paragraph.

A paragraph inside our
blockquote.
And another blockquoted
paragraph.
