Class 2 – CSS Selectors and Web Layout

Today we will be reviewing and continuing to play with CSS selectors.  This post from my class last semester gives a good overview of the basic CSS selectors you can use to style particular parts of your web pages.

Once we are comfortable using CSS to style individual XHTML elements or groups of XHTML elements, we can begin to put together the layout of web pages.  Laying out a web page is a bit tricky, but there is a very specific technique for doing so.  This post outlines the CSS layout technique we will be mastering today.

And I highly encourage you to take the CSS tutorials on the w3schools website whenever you have a chance.  That website also has a very handy reference page for all CSS properties, which will be very useful once you are comfortable with the basic CSS concepts.
