Goodbye tables and hello css!
January 24th, 2005 | Posted in designsThe good old fashion tables I normally hand code to build website is now GONE! This may seem old news to you, but it took me a while to update this website. I knew about CSS since the pioneer of CSS, but I didn’t bother to emphasise it until now. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about then simply right click anywhere on your web browser and select “view page source” or select “view source” from “View” menu at the top of your browser. What you’re seeing is a HTML code that output the information on your browser. This code barely contains any tables compare to my old website. The previous website was messy and difficult to read. It’s the same as reading a clear concise article compare to reading an unorganized article that would confuse readers.
CSS is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents. I’ve studied this language on and off and it’s easy to understand once you figure out the patterns. Only problem is memorizing these command line in order to code properly. Luckly I came across this cheat sheet that helps me remember them. Another great place to learn CSS is the bookmark of CSS tools and tutorials. From there, you have a lot of examples to experiment and learn how it works. There are a lot of other resources you can find, but those are the ones I keep coming back. It has all the solutions I needed to get where I am and eventually expand my website as I go along.
I’m no expert yet, but I still have a lot to learn about CSS since CSS3 is on its way. There are previous version of CSS namely CSS1 and CSS2 the same way as version 1 and 2. If you’re interested in learning more about CSS, then check out its capabilities. Overall, stylizing the layout has never been easy, but when it comes to standardizing the cross browsers then it’s a pain in the arse. Although, we’re much better now than we were few years ago.
