CSS3 Exam Summary

1. Introduction to CSS3
Definition: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) define the visual appearance of HTML content.

Purpose: Separates content (HTML) from presentation (CSS).

CSS3: The latest version, compatible with previous versions.

2. Writing CSS
Inline: Directly within HTML elements using the 'style' attribute (least recommended).

Internal: Within a <style> block inside the <head> section of an HTML file.

External: In a separate .css file linked via <link> in HTML (most recommended).

3. Benefits of Using CSS


Reusable code across multiple pages.

Consistent appearance by modifying one file.

Cleaner and more readable HTML structure.

4. CSS Syntax
Selector {

property: value;

Example: p { color: blue; font-size: 16px; }


5. Selectors
Basic: Targets by element, class (.className), or ID (#idName).

Advanced:

- Universal (*): Targets all elements.

- Descendant (parent child): Targets child elements inside parent.

- Adjacent sibling (element1 + element2): Targets element2 immediately following


element1.

-
6. The Cascade and Priority
External < Internal < Inline styles in terms of specificity.

Later rules in the stylesheet override earlier ones for the same selector.

IDs > Classes > Tags in specificity.

7. Styling Text
font-size:

- Absolute: Pixels (e.g., font-size: 16px;).

- Relative: Em or percentages or klem (e.g., font-size: 1.5em;). (xx-small, x-small, small,


medium, large, x-large, xx-large)

 Formats: Named colors (e.g., Red), Hex codes (e.g., #FF5733), or RGB (rgb(255, 0, 0)).

9. The Box Model


Elements consist of:

- Content.

- Padding: Space between content and border.


- Border: Surrounds padding (customizable width and style).

- Margin: Space outside the border.

Example:

.box {

padding: 10px;

border: 2px solid black;

margin: 15px;

10. Layout and Positioning


float: Positions elements left or right

position:

- Static: Default.

- Relative: Position relative to its normal position.

- Absolute: Positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor.

- Fixed: Stays in the same place regardless of scrolling.

11. Media Queries


Adjust styles based on screen size or device type.

Example:

@media (max-width: 600px) {

body { font-size: 14px; }

}
12. Dynamic Pseudo-classes
:hover: When the user hovers over an element.
:active: When an element is being clicked.
