stage 1: web layout

read the wireframe design and sample HTML code
edit the HTML code in template.html
template page is structured using HTML: header, nav, main, section, main, footer elements
complete template.html with HTML elements which will appear on all pages as shown in the sample code
create the home.html page and copy HTML code from the template, change the page <title> to home
create all other pages using the template in the same way: home.html, road.html, track.html, mountain.html, bmx.html
understand the workflow for using template and folders
do task 1 - cooking site

stage 2: colour main areas

CSS file: CSS/styles.css
use grouping selectors to set colours for page elements(p10)
add test content to content-free main area (invisible) (p11)
understand the use of grouping selectors, size of empty container elements (zero)
do task 2 - cooking site

stage 3: position, size, space

3a Positioning (float)
default positioning for elements is a vertical stack, top to bottom
create horizontal layout (left to right) for the heading and the banner image at the top of the page.
edit the CSS code in CSS/styles.css
float heading text to appear beside image, html sequence
understand behaviour of content - areas - overflow - float - clear - inline - block
do task 3 - cooking website
3b Spacing (margin, padding)
add margin for gaps outside and padding to create gaps inside
horizontal and vertical space: top, bottom, left and right
implementing margin and padding, interaction between elements- annotating the wireframe before coding, syntax and alternative syntax
edit the CSS code in CSS/styles.css
step1: set top-bottom margins for header, nav, main, footer to create gap above and below
step2: use padding (or margins) to create surrounding gap
step3: create a gap between sections using margins, (top - bottom margins overlap, collapse)
step4: use padding to create a gap surrounding content within sections and footer
test and check by viewing the home.html page, look for gaps between elements from padding and margins
understand wireframe markup to show gaps, interpret margin / padding alternatives
do task4 - cooking website
3c Size (height and width)
managing size of nested elements, setting height/width as px, %
body position and width including auto margins
edit the CSS code in CSS/styles.css
set the sizes of some elements (except nav and main), including body with auto margins
understand default sizes, height, width, size units, auto margins
do task 5 - cooking website

stage 4: navigation bar

navigation is basically an unordered list of hyperlinks within the <nav> element
step1: use child selector to remove bullet decoration, set hyperlink colour to black.
step2: use child selector float list items to the left, set the height of the nav element
step3: centre and space out the list items by setting a width (since as floated elements they have 0 width)
step4: hyperlinks styled as block with padding to create larger clickable target rather than just the text
step5: add hover interactive behaviour to hyperlinks to change colour and background
do task 6 - cooking website

stage 5: form

adding a form as a right hand panel on the home.html page
create 3 section elements with HTML and then position them using CSS float and clear
wireframe for the form shows form element and inputs including a submit button
add html to create form element

stage 6: interactivity using javascript and mouse events

interactivity: change image size, change content style, switch images, hide and show content
mouse events are: mouseover, mouseout and click
JS example 1: change image size
add javascript code for mouse events directly into html element tag
do task 8 - cooking website
JS example 2: change image size using a js function in a script (internal to HTML or external js file)

add html mouse events
add js functions to change the visibility of section elements

do task 11 - cooking website
JS example 5: change the style of page elements (size and visibility)
stage 1: set initial id, size and float position
stage 2: add mouse events to each section
stage 3: create functions to control the size of elements
stage 4: control the visibility of elements
stage 5: apply the same techniques to the rest of the page
stage 6: create a function to return page to normal
do task 12 - cooking website
Notes for mouse events and for javascript code

stage 7: completing the bike website

create the remaining pages: track racing, mountain bike
