Need CSS Tutor

[Mr. Duck]

I am trying to learn css but i dont get it, i have tried many websites including W3 Schools. I cant really pay much though 😛

I need you to be able to show me basics to more advanced and to answer any questions 🙂

I know my way around CSS, I wouldn't go around calling myself a guru though, I have to check references a few times here and there.

Everything comes down to the basics in the end really though I find.

The most styling tags I find myself using are: background, color, margin, padding, border, width and height.

Make yourself familiar with those and you're well on your way to laying out a basic design. I'd be able to give better targeted help, if you posted some questions 🙂

im still wondering how you manage to put text on with css without using an AP Div

 

[Jack01]

Absolutely Positioned div I assume you're referring to?

Here's how I would use html and css for text.

HTML

<div class="text"> 
<p>Hello World</p>
</div>

CSS

.text {
color: #FFF; /* This defines the text color, you can also use this in the body 'div' to set the font color for everything on the page */
font-size: 12px;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

A better way still probably would be to use the p for text styling, so you can easily style the different headings and paragraphs.

.text p { 
text styling; not a real tag
}

Not sure if that's what you were asking, but hope it helps.
