CSS Class 5

 Here's a book I'm considering and for which I've order an exam copy. If you go down to the bottom of the page, you can call up a Google preview. I would like to get student feedback, so if you can, go to the table of contents and please note that some of the items are links to pages.

I will be posting other books as I look at them and we can also talk about this in class.

 I've decided to look for another DW/Flash book. That's because I remembered that the book I showed you in our last class had problems with the Flash section.

 Article on how IE's latest browser doesn't support XP and how it's costing Microsoft in terms of market share.

We reviewed what we had covered over the last couple classes by going through some .ppts that had illustrations. We started covering new material on p. 140 and we worked through 143.

Discuss Dreamweaver book and software. Put this search term in at Amazon: 

Master VISUALLY Dreamweaver CS4 and Flash CS4 Professional  Huddleston

Review from last class (covers p. 118-31)


Powerpoint for tonight's class (covers 132-55

We discussed ordering materials in advance (Dreamweaver, the text for DW) to have them available when the class starts and also to keep expenses down.

We worked through customizing cursors (132) (people who were not in class, there is a problem with this section) through structuring the page with DIV elements (p. 139).

The subject of a glossary was brought up and the instructor says she has accompanying glossary worksheets that she will check for in her files.
