Elements of CSS

A CSS declarative statement looks as :

h1{font-size:24px;}

where:

• h1: selector
• font-size: property
• 24px: value

Types of selectors:

  It is used to redefine a html tag
  p{font-family: Times, serif;}
• ID
  It is used to name a unique element
  #nav {colour: red;}
• Class
  Used to address a set of elements
  .post {padding: 10px;}
• pseudo selectors (classes, elements)

Combining selectors:

• Contextual
• Grouping

2. Browser inconsistencies

Lecture notes

Application server:

• An application server is a software engine that delivers applications to client computers or devices
• It should handle most, if not all, of the business logic and data access of the application
• benefits of application server:
  1] ease of application development
  2]and centralization
• identified with the Sun Microsystems J2EE platform; however,
• it has also come to encompass servers of web-based applications, such as integrated platforms for e-commerce, content management systems, affiliate management systems and occasionally, even applied to simplistic web-site page builders. The paradigm is more similar to mainframe based applications than traditional client-server.
