## TRBL for padding and margin shorthand

Stay out of "TRBL" (top right bottom left) for padding and margin shorthand.

Values that are present are used to fill in for values that are not:

- `padding: 1px 2px 3px 4px`
  T = 1px; R = 2px; B = 3px; L = 4px
- `padding: 1px 2px 3px`
  T = 1px; R = L = 2px; B = 3px;
- `padding: 1px 2px`
  T = B = 1px; R = L = 2px;
- `padding: 1px`
  T = R = B = L = 1px

## Float

Float takes the block out of the flow of the containing block and moves it (right or left) within the containing block.

The background color of the parent `footer` did not display. The `p` elements within the `footer` have been "floated," therefore they have been removed from the calculation of the box model of the `footer`. The parent `footer` size is null.

Solutions:

- float the parent `footer`. Recall that a float is always with respect to the containing box
- Set the `footer` `overflow` property to `auto`

## Float and Margins

We want to float one element left, the other right. We want content to be between the floated elements.

Example 4.16 - float and margin - Example 4.16 (Without Styles) | <p class="first">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed feugiat nisi at sapien.

Make the middle content not wrap around the floated contents (set margin for the middle content).

## Float and a Flexible "Grid"

Here each "person" is `div` (or `p` or `li`), which contains a thumbnail and a caption. The containing elements are sized (height and width set) and floated. The result is a table-like layout that is flexible for varying widths of the browser window.

    }

A bonus of attending Harvard Summer School is being able to enjoy Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

## Backgrounds

Instead of having an `img` element within the HTML, we can include design images in the CSS. This example displays the flag.png with the h1 of the markup.

## Lists that don't look like lists

Key points:

- remove list styling
- change from "block" to "inline" display

`ul { list-style: none; }`
`li { display: inline; }`

### list-style: none

Example 4.30 - list-style: none; - Example 4.30 (Without Styles) | <ul id="extglobalnav"><li>About</li><li>Calendar</li><li>Courses</li><li>Contact Us</li><li>Faculty Directory</li><li>Login</li></ul>ul#extglobalnav { list-style: none; }

## CSS Selectors

- element, class, id

  -     p {/* style rules */}

  -     p.classname {/* style rules */}

  -     .classname {/* style rules */}

  -     #idname {/* style rules */}

- descendant

  -     thead th {/* style rules */}

- wildcard

  -     * {/* style rules */}

- pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements

  -     a:hover {/* style rules */}

  -     input:focus {/* style rules */}

  -     li:first-child {/* style rules */}

- attribute value

  -     input[type="submit"] {/* style rules */}

- child, sibling

  -     body > p {/* style rules */}

### CSS Comments

Note the use of comments in CSS -- they start with `/*` and end with `*/`. Comments can be on a single line or multi-line.

    p.vibrate {
      /* These paragraphs will vibrate off the page! */
      color: red;
      background-color: blue;
    }
    p.subtle {
      /* These paragraphs will
         be subtle and
         probably hard to read */
      color: white;
      background-color: gray;
    }

## Pseudo-Classes and Elements

CSS 2.1 defines pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements. Examples are `p:first-line`, `li:first-child`, and `input:focus`

Pseudo-Classes | Pseudo-Elements
--- | ---
first-child link visited hover active focus lang | first-line first-letter before after

## Link Pseudo Classes

- a:link
- a:visited
- a:hover
- a:active

Use the "link-visited-hover-active" or "LVHA" ordering (some like to remember this by "LoVe HAte").

## CSS Colors

Wikipedia Web Colors

### Name

As defined in HTML: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, yellow

There are also Extended Color Keywords for CSS3, which are the same as SVG 1.0 colors (SVG is a type of image file format).

### RGB Color Space

256 colors in each channel (Red, Green, Blue). Values can be

- decimal numbers (0 to 255)
- hexadecimal numbers (00 to ff)
- percentages (0 to 100%)

The following are all equivalent ways of defining a shade of orange:

rgb(100%,66%,33%) rgb(255,168,84) #ffa854 |

### HSL Color Space

Hue, Saturation, Lightness (HSL) is another way to specify color value. It is based on a cylindrical model of color. Fore more information see:

- CSS3 Color - HSL examples
- Wikipedia: HSL and HSV

In CSS3, you can use HSL values (e.g. `hsl(29,100%,66%)`)

### Same Color, Expressed differently

## Best Practices

### Use semantic "class" and "id" values

You can choose `class` and `id` values when authoring your CSS and HTML. A good rule is to create "logical" `class` and `id` values and not "descriptive" ones. Remember, you've gone to the trouble of separating markup and presentation -- keep this separation when creating class names.

If you can guess how the class is styled based upon the name, this should cause you to consider changing the name.

Good Class/ID Names | Poor Class Names
--- | ---
pageheader pagefooter globalnav gallery aside callout warn info error | blueborder rightcolumn rightnav thinborder redbold center

Choosing class and id names appropriately will help with:

- evolution
  Your `#rightnav` may very well become navigation positioned on the left side or the top.
  Your `.redbold` may very be changed to another color or background entirely.
- specificity and semantics
  If you have a `.dottedborder` class, you may wish to change how your thumbnail images are styled, but leave presentation of other markup that you've given the same class to unchanged.

## Beware of Divitis and Classitis

divitis
  An unhealthy markup condition characterized by the profligate use of the "div" element
classitis
  An unhealthy markup condition characterized by the profligate use of "class" attributes

## Avoid Divitis, Classitis, Tagitis, etc.

Instead of...

    <div class="header">Our Solar System</div>

or even

    <div class="header"><h1>Our Solar System</h1></div>

why not...

    <h1>Our Solar System</h1>

Instead of...

    <div class="basketball">
      <ul>
        <li>Mark Few</li>
        <li>Roy Williams</li>
        <li>Thad Matta</li>
        ...

why not...

    <ul class="basketball">
        <li>Mark Few</li>
        <li>Roy Williams</li>
        <li>Thad Matta</li>
        ...

## Multiple Stylesheets

- Multiple `<link />` elements in markup
- `@import` rule in CSS

### Multiple <link /> Elements

### @import

## The Cascade and Specificity

See: CSS 2.1: Assigning property values, Cascading, and Inheritance

Image from Flickr user Cayusa, used under Creative Commons license.

### Stylesheet Origin

- author stylesheet
- reader (user) stylesheet
- browser (user agent) stylesheet

### Specificity of Selector

- style attribute
- count "id" attributes
- count number of other attributes ("class")
- count element names

### Order

- last occurence has higher specificity

  `@import`-ed stylesheets come before rules in the importing sheet.

## Cascade: Setup

- setup.html
- setup.css
- Example in JSFiddle

"setup"

CSS:

    body {
        font-family: calibri,verdana,tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
        margin: 0px 5%;
        background-color: #ccc;
        color: #000;
    }
    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { color: white; background-color: green; }
    ul { background-color: yellow; }
    p {
        color: white;
        background-color: crimson;
        padding: 0.5em;

## CSS media: screen and print

### Harvard College Funding Database

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="screen.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />

Screen display (screen.css):

Print display (print.css):

## media selector

CSS2 defines a media selector for different media types.

### link

Incorporate as part of the "link" element:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="screen.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />

### @media selector

Or, use "@media" selector in style rule:

    @media print {
      body { font-size: 11pt; }
    }
    @media screen {
      body { font-size: medium; }
    }
    @media print {
      div.navigation {
        display: none;
      }
      hr {
        page-break-after: always;
      }
    }

### media types

all
  Suitable for all devices.
braille
  Intended for braille tactile feedback devices.
embossed
  Intended for paged braille printers.
handheld
  Intended for handheld devices (typically small screen, limited bandwidth).
print
  Intended for paged material and for documents viewed on screen in print preview mode.
projection
  Intended for projected presentations, for example projectors.
screen
  Intended primarily for color computer screens.
speech
  Intended for speech synthesizers. Note: CSS2 had a similar media type called 'aural' for this purpose.
tty
  Intended for media using a fixed-pitch character grid (such as teletypes, terminals, or portable devices with limited display capabilities).
tv
  Intended for television-type devices (low resolution, color, limited-scrollability screens, sound available).

## Print CSS

- CSS 2.1 CSS Print Profile deals with paged media
- CSS3: CSS Paged Media Module Level 3
- CSS3: CSS Generated Content for Paged Media Module
- Designing for Print wtih CSS from Smashing Magazine

The book Cascading Style Sheets : Designing for the Web (3rd Edition) by Hakon Wium Lie and Bert Bos was printed using CSS.
