CSS Style Sheets

Lchad. I don't understand, when preparing a style sheet, do you apply the text and pictures to the style sheet and put all the tags in tags like h1, h2 and wrapper etc in as you go?? The Missing Manual does'nt explain that part of it very well or perhaps it's because I haven't got that far yet??

Hi Ron... stylesheets are for css only. Css is the stuff that makes your site look nice. Colors, fonts, sizes, widths, If you had a painting the paint would be the css.

All of your text and photos go into .html pages. In the painting the html is the canvas.
.html pages hold all your code such as divs, text, links, h1, h2, h3 tags, p for paragraphs, and all other html coding.

Most of what is on an html page is divs, and <p></p> You typically only use h1's one time, h2 1-3 times etc. These are you textual headings and subheadings. Think of a newspaper. Each article has a heading and a subheading and then the article. The heading is the h1 the subheading is the h2 and the article itself is the <p>

Does that help?

Hi,

Oh yes, that helps a lot thank you. It's just that I got to page 66 in the manual and was told to go to part of the text which says NOTE and then insert "<p class="note><strong><NOTE;></strong>" Lorem ipsum dolor etc etc and I thought you had to do the same with h1,h2 or h3 and other tags too, things like "wrapper" ".special" etc.

It doesn't make it very clear in the tutorial sorry to say.

I am assuming that because you are a Moderator here it is not proper for you to communicate with users via e-mail, that's fine and I don't want to be a nuisance anyway.

I found out why the exercise wouldn't work earlier so was quite pleased that I didn't have to bother you yet again.

Take care,
R

Oh that's too bad the tutorial isn't as easy to follow as I hoped.
