CSS Design
An Introduction to HTML5
When I first wrote this lens, XHTML was the web markup language of choice. Web coders benefitted from the structure XHTML provided. Writing well-formed markup meant using lower case for elements, closing all tags (both non-empty and empty) and shunning deprecated elements. Code validators that showed zero errors made us comfortable in the fact that we were following standards. Then HTML5 came along and told us not to worry so much. Well, not entirely. But they did drastically shorten the mar...

Simple CSS for Website Text Formatting
Using Cascading Style Sheets to format your website text doesn't have to be hard.  Use the code below to design simple CSS for your site, and build from there. Please note: in my entire life as a web designer, I've only used NotePad to write out HTML (yes, by hand!)  In my opinion, all professional web designers had better know the code.  Relying too much on WYSIWYG editors is like a mathematician using only calculators.  Plus I just find that it's faster for me, and it's my personal preferen...

Learn CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
What is CSS and why learn it?
CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, are a way to style your pages completely without having to use a ton of html. The goal of xhtml (used for coding websites in general) is to separate content from styling, so technically most of your code should be css. This box, for example, uses some fancy css styling techniques. Wait! Why are they called Cascading Style Sheets? When you use css, if you were to have multiple codes that tried to define the color of your text, which one would win and therefore ...

CSS3 Border-Image Testing Zone
CSS Border-Image Property: How Does It Work?
This page is a lab experiment on how to use CSS border-images. What's a border-image? It's a graphic that stretches around a paragraph in HTML, just like a rubber band. At the moment, I'm confused. I can get a border image to display, but I don't completely understand the parameters -- how to adjust the way it stretches. I'm going to keep experimenting here until I figure out HOW IT WORKS, and when I understand it, I'll tell you what I've figured out. In the meantime, I'll share the code, a...
