Materials from 3rd class

The handout was this trifold from DeepX, a company that's since gone out of business. I will put up a simpler CSS cheat sheet once I write it! The presentation is here (you can view and/or print from Scribd).

}


a:active {
color:yellow;
}

a:hover {
color:red;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:200%;

Welcome to HTML/CSS

I'll be posting lectures and helpful links here. Welcome aboard! Past posts are from the 4-week Intermediate Web Design class I taught in Spring 2008. We will be covering most of the same material, but in more depth.
