Moving HTML Elements with CSS

Margins and Padding

Here's a simple HTML document

And as you can see there is styling for the paragraph tag's background color and text color but there's nothing there to tell the browser where on the page to put them so the browser goes to default where there is no instruction at all and the three paragraphs are stuck together and crammed against the left side of the page

To give a p tag a margin style so that you can move it around on your webpage you write it this way

If you designate a single value the browser assumes you want the same amount of margin on all four sides
Or you can assign a margin to all for sides individually this way

But there's a shortcut way of writing margin values that saves us a lot of typing and it looks like this

(As you probably knew already anything written between the slash * and the * slash are comments we make about the code we're writing that the browser completely ignores)

The browser reads values clockwise from the top so if you assign multiple values the first value will be the top, the second value will control the right side, the third the bottom and the fourth the left side
And as we said before if you give the browser only one value it assumes you want that applied to all four sides
But if you give the browser two values for margin it will use the first value for top and bottom and the second value for left and right

By far the most popular way of writing margin css code is to use three values
This tells the browser you want the first value to be the top, the second value to be both sides and the third value to be the bottom

Padding works very much the same way as margin only it gives things breathing room inside its element

Padding is the space inside an element's border, separating the content from the border itself, while margin is the space outside the border that separates the element from other elements

CSS Selectors

There are three basic ways to use CSS to style html elements, elements meaning paragraphs <p>, headers <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> and <6> along with lists <li> and anything else that's a block element

  • Element Selector
  • Id Selector
  • Class Selector

Hex color code

A hexadecimal code that specifies a color on websites and in other digital formats, written in the format #RRGGBB.
The first two digits (RR) represent the amount of red, the next two (GG) represent green, and the last two (BB) represent blue.
#FF0000 is pure red, while #000000 is black and #FFFFFF is white.

This is bold and this is strong. This is italic and this is emphasized. This is superscript text and this is subscript text. This is underlined and this is code: for (;;) { ... }. Finally, this is a link.

To remove the bullet points (dots) from an unordered list CSS:

.my-list { list-style-type: none; }

Coupled with: HTML


<ul class="my-list">
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
</ul>

Or inline:


<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
</ul>

A Unalphabetized Glossary of Unassorted Information

Cmd + Shift + R in Google Chrome is the shortcut for a hard refresh, which bypasses the browser's cache and loads the most up-to-date version of a webpage
To perform a hard refresh in Safari on a Mac, use the keyboard shortcut Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + R. Alternatively, hold down the Shift key while clicking the refresh button in the toolbar

The name Google was created accidentally, it was originally supposed to be named ‘Googol’. (Googol is 1 followed by 100 zeroes). The founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, checked to see if that domain name was taken, but accidentally searched for ‘google.com’ instead of ‘googol.com’. They liked that name even better and registered the domain name on September 15, 1997

Yes files on thumb drives are editable. I probable knew this but had forgotten

Another thing I only recently remembered is that not only can you can view the html code of a webpage by typing (opt ⌥ cmd ⌘ u) but you can copy from there to paste what you've copied somewhere else

Have Chrome read pages aloud - right-click on a page, and select Open in reading mode

Drag a file from one folder to another moves it but Opt-Drag it copies it

If you want to read (not edit) a txt file you can just highlight it and hit the Enter key

To save a video playing on your iPhone, use the built-in Screen Recording feature by adding it to your Control Center. Swipe down from the top-right to open Control Center, tap the record button (looks like a bullseye), and after the three-second countdown, the video will be captured and saved to your Photos app. To stop, open Control Center again and tap the record button, which will then be red
