ch4 : links

ch15 : layout

  • CSS treats each HTML element as if it is in its own box. This box will either be a block-level box or an inline box.
  • block-level element. -Examples include: <h1> <p> <ul> <li>
  • Inline-level element.
    • Examples include:
  • When you move any element from normal flow, boxes can overlap. The z-index property allows you to control which box appears on top.
  • Relative positioning moves an element in relation to where it would have been in normal flow.

ch 3 : Function method and objects

  • Functions let you group a series of statements together to perform a specific task. If different parts of a script repeat the same task, you can reuse the function (rather than repeating the same set of statements).
