Lab 16: Practice with CSS2 Selectors
Instructions:
- This lab is unique because most of your code will not work in Windows IE 5.x & 6.
- First, create a page documenting a memorable experience (one that is appropriate to a school assignment, of course).
- Focus your coding on CSS2 selectors and use each type of selector at least once.
- The second part of this lab is to revisit a previous lab (of your choice) or homework (of your choice) and convert it from the existing selectors to use the CSS2 selectors. You might
find that you can significantly streamline your CSS as a result. It is fine if some CSS1 selectors remain; it might not be possible (or prudent) to update everything to CSS2.
- Make a copy of the earlier lab file or homework file and work from there; we want to preserve the original version.
- As always, check the rendering across the spectrum of browsers. Notice how it differs and what is accounting for those differences.
- Both files should be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and should have valid CSS (the one exception is if you are starting from Lab 15).
- Use external CSS files, brought in via <link />, for both XHTML files.
- Link your XHTML files to and from your class page.
- Upload your files to the server and also copy them to your removable media.
