DIV Tag in HTML • The <div> tag defines a division or a section in an HTML document. • The <div> tag is easily styled by using the class or id attribute. • The HTML Content Division element (<div>) is the generic container for flow content. • It has no effect on the content or layout until styled in some way using CSS)

Cascading style-sheets (CSS) • Created by Hakon Lie of MIT in 1994 • Has become the W3C standard for controlling visual presentation of web pages • Cascading style-sheets are powerful mechanism to add style to web document • Enforce standards and uniformity • Create dynamic effects • Works by allowing you to specify rules

Advantages of CSS • Saves time • Easy to change • Keep consistency • Give you more control over layout • Use styles with JavaScript • Make it easy to create a common format for all the Web pages

Types of Style Sheets • In-line styles • Embedded/internal styles • External style sheet

In-line Style Sheet • Add styles to each tag within the HTML file • Use it when you need to format just a single section in a web page • Style attribute is used to add style • Example • <h1 style=“color:red; font-family: sans-sarif;” > This is my content </h1>

Internal Style Sheet • A style is applied to the entire HTML file • Use it when you need to modify all instances of particular element (e.g., h1) in a web page •This is define between head tag Example <style> h1 { color:red; font-family:sans-serif; } </style>

External Style Sheet • An external style sheet is a text file containing the style definition (declaration) having extension .css • Use it when you need to control the style for an entire web site • Steps to create external style sheet:- • Open a new blank document in Notepad or Notepad++ • Type style declarations, For example: h1 {color:red; font-family:calibri;} • Do not include <style> tags • Save the document as filename.css

External Style Sheet • Open an HTML file • Between <head> and </head> add <link href=URL rel=“relation_type” type=“link_type”> • URL is the file.css • Relation_type=“stylesheet” • Link_type=“text/css” • Save this file as .html For example if .html and the .css file are in the same directory <link href=file.css rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css”>

Defining CSS Rule A rule consists of • A selector: element or elements the declaration applies to • Declaration: how the elements referred to in the selector should be styled • Property: which is the property of the selected element • Value: which is a specification for this property

Using ID’s ° Use an id to distinguish something, like a paragraph, from the others in a document ° The id selector is used to specify a style for a single, unique element ° For example:- ° CSS file: ° #id_name {style attributes and values} ° HTML file ° <tag ID=id_name>

Using Classes ° HTML and XHTML require each id be unique– therefore an id value can only be used once in a document ° You can mark a group of elements with a common identifier using the class attribute ° To create a class • tag.class_name {style attributes} or .class_name {style attributes} ° To apply a style • <tag CLASS=class_name> • <h1 CLASS=FirstHeader>Content goes here….</h1>

Difference between ID’s and Classes ° You can’t have more than one tag with the same ID value ° You can apply the same Class value to multiple document tags ° Use ID's for any elements that are simply used once on a page ° OR ° Only use classes to style websites, but, when you have to use an element in JavaScript, use an identifier
