HTML Web Design Tutorial #10

Controlling Presentation with Inline Style

In part 9, we saw how to change the appearance of some of our text to bold or italic, by using certain tags. It used to be that all presentational changes to a web page were controlled with html tags. However, that method proved to be quite inefficient. So, a better method of affecting presentation was developed.

The current standard for web design states that the structure of a web page should be built by using html tags, while its presentation should be controlled using styles. There are three different methods, and each has its own advantages depending on the needs of your web page.

In the next three lessons #10-12, we're going to see how to implement each different method. We'll start by learning inline style, which is best suited for one unique element on a single web page. Then in the following two lessons we'll see how to make internal and external style sheets. To begin learning, click on the play button below.
