Learn CSS Positioning in Ten Steps: position static relative absolute float. 1. position:static The default positioning for all elements is position:static, which means the element is not positioned and occurs where it normally would in the document. Normally you wouldn't specify this unless you needed to override a positioning that had been previously set. 2. position:relative If you specify position:relative, then you can use top or bottom, and left or right to move the element relative to where it would normally occur in the document.
Let's move div-1 down 20 pixels, and to the left 40 pixels: Notice the space where div-1 normally would have been if we had not moved it: now it is an empty space. The next element (div-after) did not move when we moved div-1. It appears that position:relative is not very useful, but it will perform an important task later in this tutorial. 3. position:absolute When you specify position:absolute, the element is removed from the document and placed exactly where you tell it to go. Let's move div-1a to the top right of the page: Footnotes. Create a Sleek Coming Soon Page in Photoshop.

Attribution is appreciated, but not required. Hello, fellow web designer! My name is Andreas Blixt. I'm glad you decided to take the time to read my tutorial! Hopefully you'll be on your way to creating tabs on your website in no time! This tutorial will teach you how to create low-bandwidth tab navigation on a web page using CSS. Throughout the tutorial, I try to explain most of the things I am showing you, at a somewhat basic level. This tutorial follows a few guidelines of mine, which mostly revolve around the accessibility of the web page. The HTML and CSS should validate against the World Wide Web Consortium's respective validators.

There are cheat sheets for just about anything out there but I couldn't find one for the HTML5 canvas element, so I decided to do something about that, mostly for my own sake but if other people find it useful that's just all the better. The information is pretty much just a copy of what is found in the WHATWG specs, just condensed and hopefully a bit easier to read. There are virtually no explanations, however, and no examples other than some graphics for compositing values and a few other things (the appearance of which is very much inspired by those found in Mozilla's examples).
So, it's basically just a listing of the attributes and methods of the canvas element and the 2d drawing context. Choose between a 2 page PDF document or a PNG file. Thanks! Corrections and comments are welcome! How to hide, show, or toggle your div. Are you trying to find a way to hide and show your content? The demo below shows a simple yet elegant way of toggling your content and toggling the control text via Javascript and styling.
We will cover how to implement this example later on in the tutorial but first let's start with a simple example. Here is the sample HTML and Javascript code: By default, the peek-a-boo text is loaded when the page loads but the display attribute for the div that the content resides in is set to none so it is not visible to the visitor. If the display style is none, the function will: Set the display style to block - This is executed in the else block of the function. If the display style is block, the function will: Set the display style to none - This is executed in the if block of the function. Here is a more reusable and flexible toggle function that takes 2 parameters: one for the div to hide/show and a second parameter for the div that contains the link text to be switched.
Here is the HTML code: How to Use jQuery to Make Slick Page Transitions. Adding the final touches to a site can be the difference between a polished and beautiful site that looks “refined,” and a mediocre site that leaves no impression on visitors. jQuery, the versatile JavaScript library, can be leveraged to create all these fine tuned elements. Today we’re going to look at how to use it to create elegant page transitions. Let’s get to it! If you would like to quickly take a peek at a very simple implementation of this technique, below is the demo for viewing and download.

This will stop all of the visual elements in the body from loading, initially “hiding” everything.

Your HTML doesn’t have to change much to get these transitions working, but before we get started on that, let’s download and attach jQuery to our page. Fine Tuning. Ideal line length for content. Date: 3 May 2003 Author: Russ Weakley Is there an ideal line length for content? To quote a passage from “Web Style Guide – Basic design principles for creating web sites”. The ideal line length for text layout is based on the physiology of the human eye… At normal reading distance the arc of the visual field is only a few inches – about the width of a well-designed column of text, or about 12 words per line. Research shows that reading slows and retention rates fall as line length begins to exceed the ideal width, because the reader then needs to use the muscles of the eye and neck to track from the end of one line to the beginning of the next line. The challenge I’d like to design a site that uses optimal line lengths.
Layout methods Most websites lay out content used either fixed width (set to an absolute measurement) or flexible width (set to a percentage of the screen, so that it scales in or out based on the browser window). Flexible-width columns also have problems. A solution. How to Size Text in CSS. There’s been a welcome resurgence of interest in web typography over the past year or so, with many articles and conference talks offering techniques and theory. Frequently asserted is the notion that good typography requires accurate control of font size and line-height.
But this is the web: it’s a special medium where the reader can have as much control as the designer—the implication being that text on the web, while bending to the designer’s will, must also be reliably resizable across browsers and platforms. In this article, we will reconcile the designer’s requirement for accuracy with the user’s need to resize text on demand, arriving at a best practice that satisfies designers and users and works across browsers and platforms.
We’ll reach our destination by the traditional method of trial and error.
