What's gone wrong?



<h1>Astro Pi - Mission Zero<h1>
Young people write a simple program to take a humidity reading onboard the International Space Station and communicate it to the astronauts with a personalised message, which will be displayed for 30 seconds!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src “astronaut.jpg”></p>



Carefully look at this HTML document. Can you spot three reasons why it won’t work in the way the designer expected?

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Think, pair, share
We know we can modify how parts of our web pages look by using tags.

 
If we had 1000 lines of code and we needed to make changes to 60% of them, and each change took 50 seconds, how long would we need to spend making changes?

What happens if we need to make further additional changes in the future?


Slide 6 - Tekstslide

600x50 = 30,000 / 60 / 60 = Over 8 hours!

Inline formatting - Drag & Drop
Remember that you have formatted HTML directly.

But you have to do this line by line.
Recall:


<h2 style="color:red;">Title</h2>

Some arbitrary text
<h2 style="color:green;">Another title</h2>
Some more arbitrary text

CSS
Cascading style sheets.


Formatting each web page element individually can take a long time within the HTML file.

Alternatively, you can use a separate CSS file to format different parts of web page structures all at once and in one place only.


Slide 8 - Tekstslide

How a style sheet works
A style sheet defines how tags and properties in a HTML document should be formatted.


Tags are modified so they all take on the properties defined in the style sheet.

For example:

Codepen.io
Use this link to codepen




Step 1 - Add a border to all images, using the following text in the CSS tab:

img {
   border:1px solid blue;
}

Edit the CSS to format the page as follows (use the same attribute settings as when you formatted the HTML directly):

  • Set the body with an coloured background and different font text
  • Set h1 so that it is a different colour  and aligned to the centre
  • Set h2 to a different colour 
Use w3schools for tips and help

Efficient design
Using CSS means that a web designer does not have to make formatting changes to lines of HTML.

 

Once CSS is in place, it is easier to apply a change to adjust the style of a web page.

      color:DarkGreen;

      color:DarkBlue;
      }



Examples of quick changes

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Cold Call - Can anyone see a disadvantage of CSS here for this example?
Codepen.io is a browser based editor. 


When we are working with .html files we need to create a separate .CSS file and create a link tag between the <head></head> tags.

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="format.css">
</head>

Link HTML page with a specific style sheet

Task 2
Recreate the web page on the right, as closely as you can using this partially created code on Codepen.io
Hint: You will need to account for using tags in your text so the browser shows them:

  < becomes &lt;
 > becomes &gt;

Use the CSS tab for styling and W3 schools
