Summary 2 - Chapter 1 & 10

Topic 1 - Tags can have attributes.

A tag is made up of an opening tag, a character, and a closing tag. An attribute adds more information to the tag. There is an attribute name and attribute value. The attribute name indicates what the content is. The attribute value is the setting for the attribute itself. The value is placed between double quotations.

Topic 2 - CSS rules communicate with HTML elements.

A CSS rule is made of two parts, a selector and a declaration. The selector indicates which HTML element the style will be applied to. The declaration indicates how the HTML element will be styled. The declaration is also made up of two parts, a property and a value, which are separated by a colon. The property indicates what part of the HTML element is to be styled, such as the color. The value specifies the setting you want to apply to the property such as blue or red.

Topic 3 - The order and specifics matter in CSS.

If the coder has two selectors, the second one will be shown. For example, if the coder has h1{color: blue;} and h1{color: red;}, the h1 will appear as red because that is the last command the computer saw. If one selector is more specific than the other, the specific one will be shown. If a coder styled a paragraph tag and an ID tag the ID style would override the paragraph styles. A way around this would be to put !important. This is telling the computer that, that specific style is more important than the others and would then be shown.
