When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

In this course, you'll continue developing your web-development skills by formatting element edges and corners, controlling an element's height and width, controlling an element's position and layering, and normalizing and resetting browser CSS defaults. You'll also use advanced selectors, manager user-interface states, make structure more apparent to users, and use CSS pseudo-element selectors. Then, you'll use CSS to create newspaper-style columns, grid layouts, and flexible box layouts.

Module details

Much of your effort in creating HTML is about placing content inside of elements. But when it comes to matters of layout, CSS gives you a lot to consider regarding what happens around the outside of an element—the edges and spacing that fence your content in. CSS gives you complete control over the spacing inside and outside the edges, the color and lines (if any) used to draw the edges. You also can control the overall size, position, and layering of elements within a web page.

CSS rules provide a powerful way to format many HTML pages from a single source, without having to spend significant time editing every page. They can make your website more consistent, and they can significantly reduce the time needed to format an entire site. Their power comes primarily from selectors, and CSS provides numerous types of selectors that will make your website formatting tasks even more efficient.
