In the visual formatting model, each element in the document tree generates zero or more boxes according to the box model. box dimensions and type. positioning scheme (normal flow, float, and absolute positioning). relationships between elements in the document tree.external information (e.g., viewport size, intrinsic dimensions of images, etc.). The properties defined in this chapter and the next apply to both continuous media and paged media. The visual formatting model does not specify all aspects of formatting (e.g., it does not specify a letter-spacing algorithm). 9.1.1 The viewport User agents for continuous media generally offer users a viewport (a window or other viewing area on the screen) through which users consult a document. 9.1.2 Containing blocks containing block . 9.2 Controlling box generation block boxes <!

How Did We Get Here?
You are here: Home Dive Into HTML5 Diving In Recently, I stumbled across a quote from a Mozilla developer about the tension inherent in creating standards: Implementations and specifications have to do a delicate dance together. Keep this quote in the back of your mind, and let me explain how HTML5 came to be. MIME types This book is about HTML5, not previous versions of HTML, and not any version of XHTML. Every time your web browser requests a page, the web server sends “headers” before it sends the actual page markup. Content-Type: text/html “text/html” is called the “content type” or “MIME type” of the page. Of course, reality is more complicated than that. Tuck that under your hat. A long digression into how standards are made Why do we have an <img> element? One of the great things about standards that are developed “out in the open” is that you can go back in time and answer these kinds of questions. (There are a number of typographical errors in the following quotes. Tony continued:
Embeds
Languages: English • Français • Hrvatski • Italiano • 日本語 Nederlands • Português do Brasil • Русский • 中文(简体) • 한국어 • (Add your language) It's super easy to embed videos, images, tweets, audio, and other content into your WordPress site. This feature was added in WordPress 2.9 [1] Usage To embed a video or another object into a post or page, place its URL into the content area. For example: Check out this cool video: WordPress will automatically turn the URL into a YouTube embed and provide a live preview in the visual editor. Another option is to wrap the URL in the [embed] Shortcode. [embed width="123" height="456"] If WordPress fails to embed the URL, the post will contain a hyperlink to the URL. oEmbed The easy embedding feature is mostly powered by oEmbed, a protocol for site A (such as your blog) to ask site B (such as YouTube) for the HTML needed to embed content from site B. Does This Work With Any URL? No, not by default. Notes
Chapter 6, The Design Process
The Traditional Design Process Before delving into design principles for the web, let's look at the traditional design process which I was taught in school–still the standard in use today by the graphic design industry. The Traditional Design Process 1. The brief is comprised of a couple of documents: The client brief is what the client gives you. The creative brief is a document produced by a designer in response to the client brief. It may involve deciding where on a page to place an element, (such as a heading or image), how much emphasis should be given to that element, and how to emphasise it. 2. Research is vital to the success of any design solution. Insights to help generate ideas for the design. Designers don't need to be involved in the actual research, but they do need access to the results. 3. The designers get to work. 4. The designers then spend time amending the design to reflect the changes or problems highlighted by the client–sometimes endlessly. 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. Lo Fi
Attribute selectors
SummaryEdit Attribute selectors select an element using the presence of a given attribute or attribute value. [attr] Represents an element with an attribute name of attr. [attr=value] Represents an element with an attribute name of attr and whose value is exactly "value". [attr~=value] Represents an element with an attribute name of attr whose value is a whitespace-separated list of words, one of which is exactly "value". [attr|=value] Represents an element with an attribute name of attr. [attr^=value] Represents an element with an attribute name of attr and whose first value is prefixed by "value". [attr$=value] Represents an element with an attribute name of attr and whose last value is suffixed by "value". [attr*=value] Represents an element with an attribute name of attr and whose value contains at least one occurrence of string "value" as substring. [attr operator value i] ExampleEdit SpecificationsEdit Browser compatibilityEdit See alsoEdit Document Tags and Contributors Thanks!
How jQuery Works | Learn jQuery
This is a basic tutorial, designed to help you get started using jQuery. If you don't have a test page setup yet, start by creating the following HTML page: The src attribute in the <script> element must point to a copy of jQuery. To ensure that their code runs after the browser finishes loading the document, many JavaScript programmers wrap their code in an onload function: Unfortunately, the code doesn't run until all images are finished downloading, including banner ads. For example, inside the ready event, you can add a click handler to the link: Save your HTML file and reload the test page in your browser. For click and most other events, you can prevent the default behavior by calling event.preventDefault() in the event handler: The following example illustrates the click handling code discussed above, embedded directly in the HTML <body>. Another common task is adding or removing a class. First, add some style information into the <head> of the document, like this:
