- 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.
