HTML

- Tags:
- div and span
- h1, h2, h3, h4
- p, blockquote, pre
- ol, ul, il
- HTML declarations on top
- HTML validation
- Character set declaration
CSS
- CSS validation
- CSS comments
- Selectors, in particular simple ones (tag names), siblings, children, class and id
- Every property that was part of homework 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 (homework 4 and 8 will not be tested, homework 7 only partially, i.e. positioning and floating). In addition there will be a single question that will test whether you can find new information.
- Floats (i.e. you should be able to create a floating box within a text box, or a simple fluid layout)
- CSS positioning (top, left, right, bottom and position). You should be able to position elements with respect to a container element or the page.
- CSS values: length, colors, percentages and keywords used with these properties
- Understand some simple cascading principles: E.g. that usually "last found" will win, and "inline" before "embedded style" or loaded style sheet.
Recommended reading (textbook chapters)
- Textbook: Chapters 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,11. Parts of 13,14,15 (scan the text quickly and only read sections about topics that you need and don't understand)
- Those who own James A. Brannan, Brilliant HTML & CSS also could go through the CSS chapters, in particular chapters 12 and 13. These are better (and shorter) reading with respect to positioning and layout.
