HTML & CSS

Lists (pp. 62-73)

• 3 type of HTML Lists
  1. ordered - uses numbers
     • <ol> - creates the ordered list
     • <li> - contains a list item
  2. unordered - uses bullets
     • <ul> - creates the unordered list
     • <li> - contains a list item
  3. definition - used to define terminology
     • <d1> - creates the definition list
     • <dt> - contains the term
     • <dd> - contains the definition
• Lists can be nested under other lists

Boxes (pp. 300-329)

• CSS treats each HTML element as if it has it’s own Box
• CSS can control the following Box properties:
  1. Dimensions
  2. Margin - Outside Borders
  3. Padding - Inside Borders
  4. Borders
• HTML elements can be hidden using display and visibility properties
• Block Line Boxes can be turned into Inline Boxes and Vice Versa
• CSS can control the size of the box to help improve the legibility of internal content
• CSS3 has introduced the ability to create image borders and rounded borders.

JavaScript & JQuery

Arrays (pp. 70-73)

• Arrays are special variables that store a list of values.
• All variables in the array have to be the same type.
• Array indexes start at 0.
• Arrays have a property called .length which returns the number of items in the array.

Decisions & Loops (pp. 162-182)

• Continuation of previous class reading Decision and Loops Section
• Switch statements allow you to compare a value against a list of possible outcomes and has a conditional to deal with cases where value is not on list.
