Posting for Week of Sept. 28

So far, this has been a difficult process, but I think this week's exercise has helped me make sense of what we've learned so far. The tutorials make a lot more sense now that I have to use that information to build the Class 2 Assignment.

I also found a really cool feature on firefox. If you right click on the web page and select "Inspect Element," you can view your web page, css file and html file all at once. If you also select the "outline current element" in addition to that, you can see how the element on the web page relates to your css file and html doc. It's really helpful when you're trying to figure out what's wrong because you can see if it's your coding or the priority of the html doc that's giving you trouble.

Even with my firefox discovery, I still haven't figured out all the kinks in my web page, but I suspect I need to use the inline value as an id to make it work. (For some reason my ad container is extending to the end of the web page instead of staying within its own coordinates, preventing my div from completing floating left.)

Also, I was a little unclear in class on whether we can use the absolute value property or not. I was under the impression that we can use it - with caution - but should never use it to build an entire web site. But it occurred to me that maybe Amos meant we shouldn't use it all?

If anyone knows the answer for sure, feel free to post the answer here.
