I’ve
learned so many things about html and css over the past five weeks. With
each class session and doing the book exercises gave me more of an
understanding about how html and css work and function. While doing the book
exercises and lab work the one thing I truly learned was to be patient while
typing in HTML Elements. I learned that one small error in your HTML
element can changed the whole formation of your html page.
For instance if you’re missing the close tabs </> of the html
elements they will continue to run until an end mark is made. In one of
the book exercises I had typed in left margin: and then provide the coding and
my page wasn’t indent it to the left. After looking over my elements I
realize that the reason why my page didn’t indent because I forgotten to put a
dash which it should have been left-margin:. The hardest and frustrating
thing about html and css is when I would preview the page and code links were
broken which caused images not to appear. Which meant I would have to go
back and save images under jpg or gif, take the picture out of the images
folder and place it in a different location, or rewrite the location of the url
for the images. This happened during book exercise in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7.
To link up the exercises to our Cal Poly Account we had place all the
exercises and save the work as index.html. Well in Chapter 6 and 7 the
home page was also place as an index.html which caused confusion for the
links to go to other page, and for images not to appear on the screen. I
had to save Chapter 6 and 7 index page in a different name and go to the other
pages linked to the exercise and change the html coding each of the pages.
My changing the html coding on each of the pages allowed my links to go
to different pages, and for my images to appear on the page.
Another hard thing was to making sure that the html and css were coded exactly
in order to have the right html page be displayed correctly. It was so
rewarding when I was able to figure out where my mistakes was and I knew how to
fix my error. It has been very rewarding seeing my process during the
first five weeks up till now. With spending time in the computer lab
working on the book exercises and seeing the final html and css complete and
done correctly made me feel accomplished and excited because I’m doing to these
exercises successfully. I can read or hear an html element or css element
such as paragraph element, heading element, table row/column,
italicize, indent, background, making sure each page starts with a !DOCTYPE
html, have an open and close html and body for my page and etc. and know which
elements to type into Dreamweaver without relying on notes to look up that
information. Everything that I’ve learned to this point has prepare me to
start designing my webpage for the final project.
