PBS 9 of X – More CSS Positioning
Filed Under Computers & Tech, Software Development on February 19, 2016 | 4 Comments
In the previous instalment we learned how to group multiple HTML tags together to define regions within a page, and then how to move those regions around by floating them, or positioning them explicitly. We’ll start this instalment with a little revision – there was a lot to digest last time! While re-visiting the layout from last time, we’ll also look at some of its limitations, and then we’ll move on to look at the CSS display property, how it can be used to alter layouts, and, how we can use it to improve on our demo layout.

PBS 8 of X – CSS Positioning
Filed Under Computers & Tech, Software Development on February 3, 2016 | 5 Comments
In the previous instalment we learned about the CSS box model. Each HTML tag is represented as a box within the browser, and those boxes stack down the page, and inside each other to build up the web pages we see. We also learned how to use FireFox’s developer tools to actually see and inspect the boxes. In this instalment we’ll learn how to take one or more boxes out of the normal flow of the page, and position them elsewhere on the page.
