CSS II

Introduction

This course picks up where CSS 1 left off, concluding the two–semester sequence covering most of the CSS 2.1 tags. I'll re–introduce floating elements, according to Eric Meyer's nine rules, and positioning, then cover in detail concepts such as generated user content, stacking elements along the z axis, and formatting—block, inline, list, table, and replaced—according to CSS layout rules, among other topics.

For a detailed list of which topics will be covered in this course, see the Topics Covered section below.

Prerequisite

Students should possess a firm grasp of HTML, as well as an intermediate knowledge of CSS, including ideas such as rule sets, lengths and units, shorthand properties, at–rules, the four CSS selectors, combinators, pseudo–classes, the cascade, and specificity.

Note: for those pursuing the Hunter College Continuing Education Web Certificate, you should have passed both HTML and CSS 1 with a grade of C or better.
