Checkpoint 3.1

Checkpoint 3.1 1. List three reasons to use CSS on a Web page. 2. When designing a page that uses colors other than the default colors for text and background, explain why it is a good reason to configure both properties: text color and background color. 3. Describe one advantage to using embedded styles instead of inline styles. 1 Typography and page layout can be better controlled. These features include font size, line spacing, letter spacing, indents, margins, and element positioning. Style is separate from structure. The format of the text and colors used on the page can be configured and stored separately from the body section of the Web page document. Styles can be stored. You can store styles in a separate document and associate them with the Web page. When the styles are modified, the XHTML remains intact. This means that if your client decides to change the background color from red to white you only need to change one file that contains the styles, instead of each Web page document. 2 A good way to appeal to your target audience is to use contrast and use limited colors on your sight so it doesn’t appear to be so distracting. 3 One advantage to using embedded styles instead of inline styles is that it will effect the entire page, not just one specific line, making it easier to keep a clean, uniform webpage. It also is a lot quicker than having to type inline whenever you want to change the settings of a particular line.
