Web Design and Implementation (Winter 04-05)


CSS Positioning: Studio Exercise (15 December 2004)

Using the recipe example I showed in class, create your own page with CSS positioning and formatting. You can change as much or as little of the original as you'd like, but make sure that you've got a good sense of how the positioning properties work.

When you're done, upload the file to your rit.edu web space on Grace, and add a weblog entry that points to it and describes what you changed and anything important you'd like to remember about how you created the page. If you don't already have a category for in-class exercises, make sure you add one to your weblog, and assign it to this entry.

I was just wondering what that commandments example was because I don't remember it being mentioned in class and the link doesn't work.

You're faster than I expected. :) I've modified the exercise to reflect what I showed in class today, including an uploaded .zip archive of the relevant files.

I made chages to the backgourd color and font size and color. Also I moved the location of the direction for the recipe and the picure to the bottom of the page. It works on IE but I could not get it to appear in Firefox. I double checked all the display settings and check to see the background colors and font color.

My trackback didn't seem to show up, so I put my CSS Recipe as the URL here.
