Explain the CSS “box model” and the layout components that it consists of.
Provide some usage examples.
The CSS box model is a rectangular layout paradigm for HTML elements that consists of the following:
Each of these properties can be specified independently for each side of the element (i.e., top, right, bottom, left) or fewer values can be specified to apply to multiple sides. For example:
/* top right bottom left */
padding: 25px 50px 75px 100px;
/* same padding on all 4 sides: */
padding: 25px;
/* top/bottom padding 25px; right/left padding 50px */
padding: 25px 50px;
/* top padding 25px; right/left padding 50px; bottom padding 75px */
padding: 25px 50px 75px;
Explain what elements will match each of the following CSS selectors:
div, pdiv pdiv > pdiv + pdiv ~ pdiv, p - Selects all <div> elements and all <p> elementsdiv p - Selects all <p> elements that are anywhere inside a <div> elementdiv > p - Selects all <p> elements where the immediate parent is a <div> elementdiv + p - Selects all <p> elements that are placed immediately after a <div> elementdiv ~ p - Selects all <p> elements that are anywhere preceded by a <div> elementExplain the meaning of each of these CSS units for expressing length:
In CSS3, how would you select:
<a> element whose href attribute value begins with “https”.<a> element whose href attribute value ends with “.pdf”.<a> element whose href attribute value contains the substring “css”.Select every <a> element whose href attribute value begins with “https”:
a[href^="https"]
Select every <a> element whose href attribute value ends with “.pdf”:
a[href$=".pdf"]
Select every <a> element whose href attribute value contains the substring “css”:
a[href*="css"]
Given the following HTML:
<div id="page">
<h1>Heading Title</h1>
<h2>Subheading Title</h2>
<h2>Subheading Title</h2>
<h1>Heading Title</h1>
<h2>Subheading Title</h2>
<h1>Heading Title</h1>
</div>
How could you use CSS to achieve the following automatic numbering:
1) Heading Title
1.1) Subheading Title
1.2) Subheading Title
2) Heading Title
2.1) Subheading Title
3) Heading Title
The following CSS will achieve this type of automatic numbering:
#page {
counter-reset: heading;
}
h1:before {
content: counter(heading)") ";
counter-increment: heading;
}
h1 {
counter-reset: subheading;
}
h2:before {
content: counter(heading)"." counter(subheading)") ";
counter-increment: subheading;
}
