Web Design Section

This week we were asked to create a CSS style sheet. I created mine at the following URL:

http://jered.0fees.us/module6/module6style.css

Cascading style sheets are useful in a number of ways. For one, it separates style from content – the main section of a web page can consist primarily of content to be presented to the user, making it easier to read in HTML form. Using CSS also provides stylistic consistency, as several pages can import style information from a single CSS file. On top of that, website design changes become easier to make because you can make a style change in a single file, then every HTML page on the site that uses that stylesheet will automatically use the new style. Pages styled with CSS will usually load faster than pages formatted with frames and tables. And because CSS can be easily overridden by a web browser, using CSS aid accessibility by allowing users to use larger font sizes or more dyslexia-friendly fonts.

The following are my questions and answers for the web design part of the week’s assignment:

Question # 1
A. What is the correct CSS syntax for making all the elements bold?
A2. span {font-weight:bold}

Question # 2
B. What property is used to change the text color of an element?
B3. color:

Question # 3
C. The # symbol specifies that the selector is?
C4. id
