Day 162: "HTML & CSS," by Jon Duckett

All right, I left off on page 393 last time, so that's where I'lll start off today.  The current theme is grid-based layouts, which is great, because I really wanted to go over that again.   
The book went over the 960 grid system and how to use multiple stylesheets, if desired.  If we link to CSS and also use the @import rule within the CSS, the rest of the code in the CSS style sheet takes precedence over the code within the @import rule (because we always place the @import rule at the top of the CSS file, and the CSS below it, being after, would take precedence.

We went over how the new HTML5 elements are treated as inline element by older browsers, and the code we should enter to avoid this issue.

All right, I finished the book.  It did not go over media queries, so I'll have to refresh on that.  I'm thinking I will code and deploy the mobile mechanic website tomorrow.  That, or start on the "JavaScript & JQuery" book.
