Question: what is the HTML tag for Links?
More things to do
Make a bullet list for your four favorite things in MSU. Change the font of this list to “Times New Roman”
Changing page properties: Set background color for the page. What else can you change for the page
properties?Download a MSU logo, save to your web
folder and insert to the top of your page.
Question: what is the HTML tag for Images?
Problems
The Tags only provided limited formatting. H1 is always that big. Links always have an underscore.
You can manually change the format for all the H1 headlines, but what about your have 100 pages in your web site?
Can we customize the HTML tags?
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
What is style? Style is a list of formatting instructions.
A Cascading Style Sheet is a file with a list of formatting instructions.
CSS style sheets are the modern way to control the appearance and layout of your web pages.
4.0 and up Navigator and IE fully support CSS.
Unpacking Sample Web Site
Open the file common.zip you just copied using EnZIP
Click on Edit => Extract and extract the files to your web folder The files will appear in a new folder commons
Browse to the practice web site http://www.msu.edu/~MSUNetID/commons/ Why didn’t you give a file name in the URL? View all seven pages in the site. What tags control the formatting of the headings?
Cascading Style Sheet
Enter the following text into a new Notepad document
h2 { font-family : Tahoma; color : blue; text-align : center;}
Save the document in the commons folder as csense.css Save as file type Text Document
Attach a Style Sheet to HTML files
In properties window->Styles drop box, choose “Manage styles…”
Use “Attach…” to attach the .css file you just created.
Do the same thing for all the seven pages.
What happens?
Modifying CSS stylesh2 {
font-family : Tahoma;
color: blue;
text-align: center;
text-transform : uppercase;
}
body {
font-family : Courier New;
background-color : #FFEEDD;
color : #777733;
}
Separation of Content and Presentation
Content Use tags like <h1>, <h2>, <p>, <em> or <li> to indicate the structure of your pages
Presentation Use a CSS style sheet to determine how the
tags are formatted
Advantage of separation Changing the formatting only requires editing
the style sheet
Edit styles in Dreamweaver
In the Design->CSS Styles window you can edit the styles you already have, or create new styles.
Let’s create a new style for the link HTML tag: <a> </a>
High light the CSS file first Click here
Change the style of HTML Link Tag
a:link – Customizes the style of a link that has not been visited recently
a:visited -- Customizes the style of a link that has been recently visited
a:hover -- Customizes the style of a link while the user’s mouse is over it.
