quick question : instead of using h4 on the more destinations sections , is it possible to also use em or b to get the bolder text with the same outcome?
Why we need to use “p” instead of “title” in the .css document? As the exercise oriented, I copied and pasted the lines between ; the it only ran when I changed “title” by “p”".
Thanks"
Using <p> will allow every paragraph tag in the html doc to be affected. I’m not sure if <title> is something that would go in css, as far as I’ve learned, the <title> element is just for naming the tab of the web page at the top of the browser.
Since no one answered, I’ll through in my 2 cents. I can tell you it’s definitely POSSIBLE, since I just did it after reading your post. I wasn’t aware that the <b> and <strong> tags were the same size text as the <h4> tag. (I’m guessing you meant the <strong> tag in your post and not <em> which puts it in italics.)
With that said, is it practical or semantically correct to do so? I not sure, but I’d guess probably not. Seems like a doc filled with other header tags, should also use the <h4> instead of swapping it for the other ones. Someone smarter than me can explain better.
The p refers to the paragraph element in the HTML.
Putting p in the CSS file means that whatever code you put within the curly braces (font-size, color, etc) will only affect the p paragraph elements in the HTML
I did the exercise instructions but the paragraph didn’t change to Arial when I ran it. Even though the box got checked and next lit up like I did it correctly.
quick question:
Learn CSS: Selector and Visual-Step 4 asks to do the following.
Cut the CSS code in between the opening and closing <style> tags and paste it directly in the new file called style.css .
I did what was asked and I’m getting an error asking “Did I remove the paragraph style from index.html and put it in the style.css?” Yes I did and this is what I cut and pasted
I had the same experience. The only thing I saw different from what was shown in the solution was that my line of css did not have a semi-colon at the end, which should not be required. There was also no indication of what was wrong. I tried both deleting the style tags and leaving them empty with the correct property defined for the p selector and I got this error as well.
Both the strong and em tags deliver a degree of importance to the text that CSS or b don’t deliver. Semantically it’s not correct to replace a h4 tag for b or strong tag
The way this is described is confusing for beginners. The wording used in “4. The .css file” makes it seem like you should place the inline “p style=“font-family: Arial;”” into the .css document, when in reality you need to place the actual .css formatting into the document for it to work.
I had the same problem and realized (at least in my case!) that it was being very picky about the formatting/indentation of the code. I had to remove all indentation from the CSS code and have it flat, like this:
p {
font-family: Arial;
}
for it to register. Also don’t forget the hyphen (-) in “font-family”!
