External Style Sheets and Print Styles

Okay, so we have ventured into the world of style sheets. Now it's time to start taking it to the next level. Today we are going to discuss how we turn an internal style sheet into an external styles sheet. I will also show you how to create a "print" style for your resume. We do this to ensure a few things...


  1. Ensure our Online resume is readable via the screen (viewing the website on your monitor)

  2. Standards compliant: According to www.w3org, all linked style sheets must have a prescribed media type

  3. Readability when printing your resume using a browser: Many times, when printing a resume or any other document off the internet, unwanted pictures, text, logos and icons are printed as well. This is typically because a separate style sheet was not used to handle the presentation of the document when printed.


Next class period we will look at the CSS Box-model and more advanced application of CSS (Layout, Positioning, etc.). Also, don't forget to view my website at www.mrhadley.net for information on my daily posts.
