## Display and Visibility

Can use CSS to change display. This is useful not only to change the 'default' way things are displayed, but also to manipulate display properties using JavaScript.

Two main properties that control display:

- `display` - commonly used
- `visibility` - less commonly used

## The "display" property

Common values:

- block
- inline
- none
- inline-block

### display: inline

Key points:

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

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

### display: none

Example 6.1 - display: none; - Example 6.1 (Without Styles)

- Markup
- Style

     <ul>
    <li>American League<ul>
    <li id="ale">East<ul>
    <li>Baltimore</li>
    <li>Boston</li>
    <li>New York</li>
    <li>Toronto</li>
    <li>Tampa Bay</li>
    </ul></li>
    <li id="alc">Central<ul>
    <li>Chicago</li>
    <li>Cleveland</li>
    <li>Detroit</li>
    <li>Kansas City</li>
    <li>Minnesota</li>
    </ul></li>
    <li id="alw">West<ul>
    <li>Los Angeles</li>
    <li>Oakland</li>
    <li>Texas</li>
    <li>Seattle</li>
    </ul></li>
    </ul></li>
    </ul>

In `style` element (`<style type="text/css">`) within `head` element:

    #ale { display: none; }
    #alw { display: none; }
    * { font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; }

## Visibility

Visibility controls whether or not an element is displayed. The element still takes up space in the block model.

Example 6.2 - visibility: hidden; - Example 6.2 (Without Styles)

     <ul>
    <li>American League<ul>
    <li id="ale">East<ul>
    <li>Baltimore</li>
    <li>Boston</li>
    <li>New York</li>
    <li>Toronto</li>
    <li>Tampa Bay</li>
    </ul></li>
    <li id="alc">Central<ul>
    <li>Chicago</li>
    <li>Cleveland</li>
    <li>Detroit</li>
    <li>Kansas City</li>
    <li>Minnesota</li>
    </ul></li>
    <li id="alw">West<ul>
    <li>Los Angeles</li>
    <li>Oakland</li>
    <li>Texas</li>
    <li>Seattle</li>
    </ul></li>
    </ul></li>
    </ul>

In `style` element (`<style type="text/css">`) within `head` element:

    #ale { visibility: hidden; }
    #alw { visibility: hidden; }
    * { font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; }

## display: inline-block

Remember how we saw we can float things?
`display: inline-block` gives us another way to achieve similar results -- but with `inline-block`, the contents are not taken out of the calculation of the parent container!

Compare the two JSFiddle examples of `li`:

- inline-block for li
- float for li

## CSS and Lists for Navigation

Harvard Homepage - lists are outlined in magenta and list items in green. Note that some lists are "horizontal" and some are "vertical" -- exactly how a list is rendered can be controlled by CSS

## Inline and Inline-block Lists

Key points:

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

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

or

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

### list-style: none

    <ul id="extglobalnav">
    <li>About</li>
    <li>Calendar</li>
    <li>Courses</li>
    <li>Contact Us</li>
    <li>Faculty Directory</li>
    <li>Login</li>
    </ul>

In `style` element (`<style type="text/css">`) within `head` element:

    ul#extglobalnav {
      list-style: none;
    }

### li {display: inline;}

    <li>Contact Us</li>
    <li>Faculty Directory</li>
    <li>Login</li>
    </ul>

In `style` element (`<style type="text/css">`) within `head` element:

    ul#extglobalnav {
      list-style: none;
      padding-left: 0;
    }
    ul#extglobalnav li {
      display: inline;
      padding-left: 2em;
    }

### li {display: inline-block;}

    <li>Courses</li>
    <li>Contact Us</li>
    <li>Faculty Directory</li>
    <li>Login</li>
    </ul>

In `style` element (`<style type="text/css">`) within `head` element:

    ul#extglobalnav {
      list-style: none;
      padding-left: 0;
    }
    ul#extglobalnav li {
      display: inline-block;
      width: 8em;
      border: thin solid black;
      margin-right: 3px;
      text-align: center
    }

## Advantage of inline-block?

Best of both "inline" and "block" worlds!

- JS Fiddle of inline-block list-item navigation

## Lists as Horizontal Navigation

Key points:

- remove list styling
- change from "block" to "inline-block" (or "inline") display

Example 6.6 - simple list - Example 6.6

- Markup
- Display

    <ul>
    <li>Academics</li>
    <li>Tuition and Enrollment</li>
    <li>Resources and Policies</li>
    <li>Inside Extension</li>
    </ul>

- Academics
- Tuition and Enrollment
- Resources and Policies
- Inside Extension

Example 6.7 - inline list items - Example 6.7 (Without Styles)

    <ul id="extnav">
    <li>Academics</li>
    <li>Tuition and Enrollment</li>
    <li>Resources and Policies</li>
    <li>Inside Extension</li>
    </ul>

In `style` element (`<style type="text/css">`) within `head` element:

    ul#extnav {
      list-style: none;
    }
    ul#extnav li {
      display: inline-block;
    }

Note the labeling of the current area of the site the user is in with the "active" class.

    <ul id="extnav">
    <li><a href="#">Academics</a></li>
    <li class="active"><a href="#">Tuition and Enrollment</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Resources and Policies</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Inside Extension</a></li>
    </ul>

In `head` element:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="example8.css"/>

In example8.css

    * {
      background-color: white;
    }

    ul#extnav {
      list-style: none;
      font-weight: bold;
      font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      color: #1e1e1e;
      background-color: white;
      margin-top: 1em;
    }

    ul#extnav li {
      display: inline-block;
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
    }

    ul#extnav a {
      padding: 0.5em;
      margin-right: 0;
      background-color: white;
      border-right: 1px solid black;
    }
    ul#extnav li:last-child a {
      border-style: none;
    }
    ul#extnav a:link,
    ul#extnav a:visited {
      color: black;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

    ul#extnav a:hover {
      color: #a51c30;
      text-decoration: underline;
    }
    ul#extnav .active {  background-color: #f5f5f8;}
    ul#extnav .active a:link,
    ul#extnav .active a:visited,
    ul#extnav .active a:hover,
    ul#extnav .active a:active {
      background-color: #f5f5f8;
      color: #a51c30;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

## Lists as Side Navigation

Key points:

- remove list styling
- make "a" element "block" display

Default styling:

Note: "a" display property is set to "block". This makes the hyperlink active over the whole area, not just with the text.

      border-top: 1px solid #333;
    }
    #navigation1 ul li a {
      display: block;
      background-color: #ddd;
      border-top: 1px solid #333;
      border-left: 5px solid #333;
      text-decoration: none;
      padding: 5px 2px 5px 0.5em;
    }
    #navigation1 ul li a:link,

    { color: #900; }
    #navigation1 ul li a:hover {
         color: #fff;
         background-color: #900;}

## Lists as Navigation

Nested list styled as "clamshell" navigation.

- remove list styling
- make "a" element "block" display

- styles for secondary nested lists (e.g. selector for `ul ul a`)

## Breadcrumb Navigation

> "Just wait, Gretel, until the moon rises, and then we shall see the crumbs of bread which I have strewn about, they will show us our way home again.", Hansel in Hansel and Gretel

Key points:

- inline display
- background image for arrows

Markup "breadcrumb" navigation using nested lists so that markup reflects the parent/child or hierarchy relationship.

Strategy is similar to that of creating tabs. Use "display: inline" to make list items inline; use background image for "li" to show arrow.

Example 6.14 - Nested lists for 'breadcrumb' navigation - Example 6.14 (Without Styles)

- Markup
- Style

    <div id="breadcrumb"><ul>
    <li><a href="http://dmoz.org/">Top</a><ul>

## Graphics and Images

## Graphics: Purpose

- Content
- Design

### Images and Markup

Two ways of including images:

1. Markup: `img` element
   - `alt` attribute
   - `height` and `width` attributes

       <img src="images/shield.png"
        alt="Harvard Veritas" height="328" width="281"/>

2. CSS: `background-image` property

       #header {
         background-image: url(images/shield.png);
         background-repeat: no-repeat;
       }

## Graphics Formats for the Web

PNG
  Portable Network Graphic
  `.png`
JPEG
  Joint Photographic Experts Group
  `.jpeg` or `.jpg`
GIF
  Graphics Interchange Format
  `.gif`
SVG
  Scalable Vector Graphics
  `.svg` and `.svgz`

### Other formats

Image formats you might encounter, but aren't super-relevant for the web:

- TIFF
- RAW
- JPEG 2000 (JP2)
- BMP

## file.jpg or file.JPG -- Does it matter?

- Yes. If your filename is "beach.JPG" then you need to reference it as "beach.JPG" -- having "beach.jpg" in the URL won't work!
- No. As long as the case of your filenames match the case in your URL references you'll be fine.

## Graphics: Vector and Bitmap

Bitmap | Vector
--- | ---
Original image (PNG): | Original image (SVG):
Magnified (16x) | Magnified (16x)
Bitmap formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF | Vector formats: SVG

## Colors

### 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%)

## Color Depth

- RGB color is a 24-bit system (16 million colors)
- 8 bits (256 colors) for each channel (red, green, blue).

  28x28x28 = 2(8 + 8 + 8) = 224x = 16,777,216

Bits | Colors
--- | ---
1 | 21 = 2
2 | 22 = 4
3 | 23 = 8
4 | 24 = 16
5 | 25 = 32
6 | 26 = 64
7 | 27 = 128
8 | 28 = 256
16 | 216 = 65,536
24 | 224 = 17 x 106 (millions)
32 | 232 = 4.3 x 109

## Indexed Color Systems

An 8-bit indexed image has a palette of up to 256 colors that the image can contain. Color information is not stored for each pixel, but rather just a reference to which color in the palette.

Palettes

- Exact (if 256 or fewer colors)
- Adaptive (weighted based upon colors in document)
- Web Palette (216 Web Safe Colors)
- System
  - Windows
  - Macintosh

### But what happens to the other colors?

If you take a photo that is saved in an RGB system (millions of colors) and then convert it to an indexed system with 256 colors, what happens?

- dither
- color-shift

## Bitmap images: Size and Quality

Factors that contribute to image size:

- Dimension
- Compression
- Number of Colors

## JPEG Compression

The amount of compression (quality of image) for a JPEG image can be chosen (from a scale of 0 to 100). The image quality is inversely related to the amount of compression since the compression algorithm is "lossy".

Properties | Image
--- | ---
Quality: 80 34.1 kb |
Quality: 70 26.0 kb |
Quality: 60 22.4 kb |
Quality: 50 17.0 kb |

## Compression for Indexed GIF

GIF LZW compression operates on horizontal blocks of the same color. Here are two images that are identical except for a 90 degree rotation. The vertical stripe GIF image is nearly twice as large as the horizontal stripe GIF image. The PNG images are the same size.

Format | Horizontal Stripes | Vertical Stripes
--- | --- | ---
GIF | 471 bytes | 911 bytes
PNG | 232 bytes | 221 bytes

## Compression and Dithering

A purple shade was created by alternating red and blue pixels.

200×200px Image, Dithered and Solid
Image Format | Dithered Grid | Solid
PNG | 225 bytes | 209 bytes
GIF | 601 bytes | 303 bytes

## Transparency

With PNG images, a color in the palette can be designated as "transparent". This lets any background colors or background images show through the transparent portions.

## Working with Images

### Graphics Tools

- Adobe
  - Adobe Photoshop
  - Adobe Illustrator
  - P.S. I'm still mourning the demise of Fireworks
- Corel
  - PaintShop
  - CorelDRAW
- Gimp (Open Source)
- Pixlr (Web, Desktop, Mobile)
- Gravit
- Acorn
- Affinity Photo (Mac Only)
- Sketch

## Start with Original PSD/AI/etc. or High Resolution 24-bit PNG

- If you contract out: get the original/source files!
  Keep track of them!
  Make sure others know!
- Always start with the original file format (e.g. PSD, AI, etc.) or high-resolution 24-bit PNG.
- Size images accordingly!
  - Don't shrink full-resolution images by using "height" and "width" CSS
  - Don't enlarge images from smaller ones -- you can only go one way (larger to smaller)

## Gazebo Image

- gazebo - hi res PNG - 231 kb
- gazebo - 200px wide PNG - 21 kb
- gazebo - enlarge 200px to 800px - 349 kb
- gazebo - JPEG Quality 30 - 470 kb

### Do's and Don'ts - shrinking

Don't shrink image with style properties:

Do resize image in graphics program:

### Do's and Don'ts - enlarging

Don't enlarge images from smaller one:

Do start from high resolution source file or original file format:

### Do's and Don'ts - choose appropriate format

Don't use JPEG for illustrations (used Quality 44 to get to same size as 24-bit PNG of same dimensions):
