Reflection on IS Lesson 4 - CSS

I am impressed with what CSS can do. It allows different HTML files to use the same style sheet and this will save you a lot of time.

The www.w3schools.com website is very useful. However at times I still cannot really figure out the function of some calls, for eg the relative vs absolute positioning. It took me a while to realise that certain symbols do not appear as you typed when you view with Encoding unicode(UTF), for eg "'" you have to use the HTML ASCII Code.

Initially I realised that the position of my assignment box 4 is different when I run it on Lenovo X61 and Compaq CQ35. Finally I managed to figure out how to centralise position of the box.

I tried the HTML quiz in www.w3schools.com, it helps to reinforce my learning of HTML & CSS. There are so much more that we can learn on HTML & CSS, I look forward to Mr Cheong sharing and teaching us more about HTML and CSS.

I recall the first lesson when I created my blog, I was trying to figue out how I can change the layout, now I am beginning to have some ideas.
