New to programming, taking class at college, CSS help please

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hello,

I am learning HTML and CSS at college. I am very new to programming. I am stuck no a small part of a website I have to make using CSS and HTML. Here is the project and what I have to do. http://www.gibsonr.com/classes/cop1830/20131/proj3.html

I have all of it done other than two parts which is


The instruction paragraph on Embedded Page (shown on the [illustration of the site]) must be accomplished with an ordinary paragraph element that uses a class named "instruction" that is defined in the embedded style sheet. It should show up in a smaller than normal italic red font.
The next paragraph must use a span element with an inline style defined to display the second sentence in italics and smaller than normal with a line through it.

and

A block as shown on the [illustration of the site], written using the div tag with an inline style to cause it to have a double lined border and one half of a letter width padding offsetting the text. Also the box must be positioned horizontally to use only the right half of the page. Hint: see the float property. Note that the horizontal rule following the block must contain an attribute to clear the float to force that rule to be positioned under/past the block rather than to the left of it.


I do not know how to use the div tag and the span tag, I am not even sure where to start on this part.

Start by reading stuffs from w3schools.com

You will really learn when you start practicing yourselves,that's where real learning start..

After take a look at nettuts and webdesign tuts they have some good tutrials.

I will look through this and report back,

but:

NEVER read the crap that's on W3schools.com

It has NOTHING to do with the Worldwide Web Consortium and contains hundreds of junk statements which are completely false. Use anything other than them
