p {font-family: Arial;} - selector p - curly brackets/braces - declaration in two parts: property:value separated by colon - several properties separated by semi-colon ;

Cascading precedence - last rule - specificity - importance !important
Inheritance - parent inherits properties to child - exeptions like background-color or border properties - we can force a lot of properties to inherit values from their parent elements by using inherit;

3 ways: /* color name */ h1 { color: DarkCyan; } - /* comment */
/* hex code */ h2 { color: #ee3f80; } - Hex represents red green blue in 6 digits startet with # (hash or pound sign) - 16 values 0-9 and a-f - 2 digits for red green blue
/* rgb value */ p{ color: rgb(90,255,0); } - RGB red green blue - value 0-255 for each color of RGB
RGB equals Hex - rgb(102,205,170) = #66cdaa - name is in this case MediumAquaMarine (only 147 colors)
HSLA see p255
p250 - CSS treats HTML elements as if they are in a box - background-color shows it:
body {background-color: rgb(200,200,200);} h1 {background-color: DarkCyan;} h2 {background-color: #ee3e80;} p{background-color: white;}
IF bgcolor is not specified it is transparent - by default most browsers have white background, we can define other on website - padding separates text from edges of box
Understanding Colors
p252 - Hue is near to the colloquial idea of color. Technically speaking however, a color can also have saturation and brightness as well as hue.
Saturation = amount of grey - max sat = no grey, min sat = 100% grey
Brightness = amount of black - max br = no black, min br = 100% black
Contrast has to be balanced - better minimize contrast a little bit if there is a lot of text to read - contrast for mobile devices and sunshine need to be well balanced - Colour Contrast Check
p254 - Opacity 0.0 - 1.0 (0.5 = 50%, 1.0 = 100%) ...
p264 -
p300 - Boxes - Control box size - border margin padding - hide - CSS treats HTML elements as boxes - positioning see Chapter 15
border padding margin
border-top-right-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 20px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 40px;
border-top-left-radius: 90px;

p359 - controlling where elements sit on the page and how to create attractive layouts - screen-design can be different to print-design etc. - we learn positioning using normal flow, relative and absolute positioning, and floats - devices different sizes an resolutions - this affects design process - difference and creation of fixed width and liquid layouts - more professional look with grids

Controllong Sizes of Images in CSS
p409 - Testing Images - define width and height properties - helps to load rest of HTML-page faster, not waiting to first load the image - a lot of sites use same image sizes across many of their pages - e-commerce sites use same image size - or if site is designed on a grid, like portrait, landscape, photo etc. - can use CSS to change size, not HTML
p410 - Determine sizes, give names: large medium small - use in <img /> class names, add selectors: <img class="medium" /> CSS: img.medium {width: 250px;
height: 157px;} - change size via CSS to control dimensions of width and height
Aligning Images using CSS
p411 - Use float property to move element to left or right and allow text to flow around - 2 ways: add float to class or create new class and use both classes in addition in <img> element - add margin to ensure that text doesn't touch images edges
Centering Images using CSS
p412 - Images by default inline element - flow within surrounded text - centering image use CSS display: block; to make it block-level element - 2 ways: on containing element text-align: center; or use margin: 0px auto; sets left and right margins - we can specify class names to allow any element to be centered - same for dimensions and alignment - can do it with HTML5 <figure> too (p119)
Background Images
p413 - Testing Background Images
body {background-image: url("/media/images/css/lessons/pattern.gif");} or
p {background-image: url("/media/images/css/lessons/pattern.gif");}
Often last thing on page to load (can make website seem slow to load) - if size of file is large it will take longer to download
Repeating Images
p414 - background-repeat: repeat; (default) or repeat-x; (horizontally) or repeat-y; (vertically) or no-repeat
background-attachment: fixed; or scroll; (default?)
