1 Appendix H: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Cascading Style Sheets offer Web designers two key advantages in managing complex Web sites: Separation of content and design. CSS gives developers the best of both worlds: content markup that reflects the logical structure of the information and the freedom to specify exactly how each HTML tag will look. Efficient control over large document sets. The most powerful implementations of CSS will allow site designers to control the graphic "look and feel" of thousands of pages by modifying a single master style sheet document. The Web Development Team has created a CSS style sheet to control some of the most common HTML attributes including: font face, font size, and font color. Style sheets also provide greater typographic control with less code. When using plain HTML you need to define the physical properties of an element such as the <H1> tag each time you use it. When you define these properties using CSS, that single definition, or rule, applies to every instance of the <H1> element in all documents that reference the style sheet. In addition, style sheets offer more formatting options than plain HTML tags and extensions. For example, interline spacing, or leading, can be controlled using style sheets, as can text properties such as letter-spacing and background color. The text formatting properties are implemented well enough across most browsers that using CSS provides cross-browser compatibility. (See Appendix C.) Source: Web Style Guide 2 nd Edition. Applying a Cascading Style Sheet CSS can be applied using inline definitions, internal style sheets, and/or external style sheets. Inline style definitions are not encouraged because they do not utilize the global control offered by the traditional use of a CSS. The preferred way to apply CSS is with external style sheets. With external style sheets CSS definitions reside in a style sheet file separate from the HTML content. The HTML file has a link or reference to the style sheet file. The following is an example of an external cascading style sheet in a Web page. Examples File: style.css (Style sheet files must have a.css file extension) Body {FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Tahoma; COLOR: RED; TEXT-DECORATION: none;} A {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;} 60

2 HTML Code Referencing Style Sheet File: index.htm <html> <head> <title>title of Page</title> <LINK href="style/style.css" type="text/css" rel= stylesheet ></head> <body> Any text in the Body will have this style.<br> <a href="embedded_style.htm">hyperlink Style Example</a> </body> </html> 61

3 The previous code as viewed in Internet Explorer Internal styling With internal styling, the styling information is placed in the HTML between the <head> and </head> tags. Internal style is used when you want to style an element that appears only on the page being styled. Internal style definitions will over-ride external style sheet definitions. 62

4 An example of an internal cascading style sheet inside a Web page: HTML code example of internal styles File: index.htm <html> <head> <title>title of Page</title> <style type = "text/css"> Body {FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Tahoma; COLOR: RED; TEXT-DECORATION: none; } A {color: #FFFFFF: text-decoration: none;} </style> </head> <body> Any text in the Body will have this style.<br> <a href="embedded_style.htm">hyperlink Style Example</a> </body> </html> The previous code as viewed in Internet Explorer 63

5 Style sheet template The main cascading style sheet, main.css, is available with the Web template at Steps for using CSS in FrontPage 1. Save your.css file inside the main/root folder. 2. Include a link to the main CSU style sheet by placing the following code inside the <head> tags: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=" 3. For a local style sheet, place the following code inside the <head> tag after the main CSU CSS code: <link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> The file name style.css is given as an example. You are not limited in what you may name your.css file. The only limitations are: The file must end in.css. The link must match your local.css file name. Example: Local file name education.css HTML: <link href="education.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> We recommend that you name your.css file something relative to the page or sight where it is used. For example, the.css for a math Web site might be math.css. 64

6 Appendix I: PDFs, Interactive PDFs PDFs are created using Adobe Acrobat or PDF 995. Interactive PDFs are enhanced versions of regular PDFs. Interactive PDFs are intended to let Web users complete forms online and print them from their computer, whereas regular PDFs are read-only.

8 Text Field Properties: Options 1. Select the Options tab 2. Deselect Scroll long text 67

9 Page properties: Tab order Setting the tab order allows users to tab from one text area to the next in a designated order. Generally, the tab order should run from left to right, top to bottom.
