First CSS Test Page
Basic CSS Page
I placed the CSS code under each Styled element.
Hey Josh,
Your CSS looks good. Great start!
The <code> tag might be a better choice for displaying code in your web pages though. From a 'semantic web' perspective, <code> is a better descriptor of the content you want to display. There are some differences in how content is rendered as well - content within <pre> tags will render without any line breaks unless specifically instructed to do so in the html code which could present some challenges for displaying lengthy strings of code.
I haven't found any good references to post yet but I'll keep looking.
Josh - I really like this page and find it useful as a beginner with CSS. Having the code directly underneath the visual example is exactly what I need to cement the rules in my head.
I actually think it would be great to compile a bunch of similar pages as a resource or reference source...
Thanks Josh! I used your page to help measure the size. http://kylerowden.com/study_notes/study_guide.html is my basic CSS page. It is also my A+ notes so if you see anything wrong in there let me know!
Also why am I getting this error repeatedly? ine 33, Column 9: document type does not allow element "UL" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag

Ok I found your error.
You're not nested right. -josh
I fixed it here:

(Just view the source and you can read the comments I added where I fixed it.)
and here is the validation:

Cool thanks! But fixing that messes up the look of it, it has the bulleted list within it's own bullet
My second go around with basic CSS. The content was written by a classmate/teacher's assistant/A+ certified friend and I turned it into a webpage. http://kylerowden.com/study_notes/how_to_pass.html
hey kyle - nice work! Entertaining :)
I think the only teeny thing I saw was an extra tag? (rather than )
that's the only suggestion I can offer!!
I just found that tag extra /head>" tag! thank you! bout to change it
Here is my week 3 work with some basic CSS:

I like it overall. I saw your contact, and was wondering if it uses php? and also if I can suggest, that you put your "link header bar", if that is what you call the | home | contact... bar, on every page. It is just easier for navigation. A+++ :)
thanks for the good advice!
and no, my comment box doesn't use php, I don't know the first thing about it! I did link it up to a "thank you" page by following the instructions on one of the blog readings - not sure if that works though.
