This is my first Cascading Style Sheets Page. I am currently taking Master's level courses in Education Technology at Boise State University. Since this is my first assignment in learning style sheets, and there seems to be many different rules that govern HTML, XHTML and CSS. Any small mistake can drive you crazy. for example, I made an error that was very small, but had dire consequences. When I coded my CSS page I made an error and left out a closing quotation mark after the property value font-family. Here is the error that I made: |
Verdana did not have any quotes at the end of it, therefore it threw the entire page off.
This small mistake made me waste at least an hour looking for it. I almost started to rewrite the entire asignment but then I had an idea. Perhaps I should look at the resources that our education technoloy teacher had recommended. Duh ! Little did I know that my life was about to get much simpler. |
The Solution
Thanks to our technology teacher, Dr. Snelson, I was able to access a website that checked to see if my CSS coding was valid or not. The website that I am refering to is the W3C CSS Validator site by Jigsaw. what that site does, is it allows you to paste code into a window and then by clicking on a button, it evaluated the code and told you exactly where the error in the code was. Now, I was able to find out exactly where the errors of my ways were. I can actually get all of the selectors, properties and values to work ! Now, I can change fonts, influence tags and in effect, conquer the world!!!!!
