Tier 1 Week 5 - Part 2

This week, we'll be exploring objects by creating an application to help maintain a record collection. We will be creating objects using object literal syntax.

Topics Covered

  • objects
  • HTML & CSS

Assignment - Practice with HTML & CSS

Time to make our index.html page look cool!

Add all CSS through a Stylesheet. Do not use inline styles.

Update the HTML:

  • Place the existing h1 inside a header element.
  • Add an h2 element into the header that says YOUR NAME's Record Shop.
  • Place the existing p inside a main element.

Add a Stylesheet:

  • Create a stylesheet.css file and source it into the HTML file.
  • Give the header a dark background color and choose a light color for the text.
  • Center the text in the header.
  • Give the main a light grey background color.
  • Look up the CSS background-image property to learn how to use the provided record.png as the background image on your page with a relative path.
  • Look up CSS background-repeat to learn how to fill the body of the page with a repeating image.
  • Look up CSS margin and padding.
    • Give the body a margin of 0. (This removes the whitespace around the edges of the page.)
    • Give the main padding of 1em. (Curious about em? Look up CSS units.)

Here's an example of what the style could look like:

STRETCH GOAL: Use CSS style classes vs element names to do your styling, except for adding the margin to the body. That is a good thing to add to every CSS file, and it should use the body HTML tag name.
