Build Your Own CSS Website Css Code Lesson 6

http://www.1stoptutorials.com - We are starting to build our css code. This is it the moment has arrived. Whatever you call your Div Id make sure you call it the same name inside of the stylesheet. Always start a Div Id inside of css with a # sign. Let me know if you get any problems.

Question: (Forgive my stupidity) Why is Firefox the desired browser over IE concerning web building? I noticed when I try to preview the design page using IE the page stalls and will not load...at least I gave up waiting for it.

And does it make a difference (I have been told it does) in the 'viewing' by others (what they see) of the final product by which 'browser' one uses while building said site?

Thanks...love the tuts...really...you are 'all that'.

Hey debieblue, thanks for the post. People prefer firefox for a number of reasons but for web design purposes, it tends to show your website correctly. IE can cause headaches and there are hacks you can add to make it work. You will come to a point in webdesign where it does not matter what browser you look at your website will view correctly. Try to get your website correct in all

Hi Ali,

when I type "body" in the stylesheet and add a background color for some reason nothing happens to my index.html

What could I be doing wrong? I have the new Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.

Hey Svenbrian, it sounds like your stylesheet is not linked to your html page. Open up your html in the code view and go all the way up to the top of the page where you see the title tag, under that there should be a link to the css, if it is not there , open up your files on the right, find the css and drag it to under the title tag. Now they should be linked and it should work

Thanks

Ali

Hi Ali. Great tutorials. I have the same probs as Svenbrian. when I type "body" in the stylesheet and add a background color for some reason nothing happens to my index.html

[angusli15]

u guys have to referre to previous tuts

[lwl0296]

same here nothing shows up when i type in the link for the background

[Chakdegirl]

Ali, how do we put a picture as a background...does it depend on the size as well ?

[macoyoshimurder]

When I put in my header background, the picture only stretches as low as the marching lines on the div id for the header wrap help please.

[MW2L3DG3ND]

i am putting in the header_bg, but ut is really small and not long like yours i have repeated across x axis but it has stayed the same any ideas??

[B52Surfer]

Like your style. Very good flow to the tutorials. I like how you jumped over to Photoshop to do the header graphics and then back to CSS. Thanks for posting these!
