• Review that websites are hosted and discuss the relationship between a Host, the IP address and the Domain Name
• Use GoDaddy.com to demo:

32.3 HTML Lesson 4 

Div Example 2 - Using Margin

• Add to yesterday’s example the ability to center.
  • margin-left: auto;
  • margin-right: auto;

Div Example 3 - Using Class & ID Indicators

• Create a div that will serve as a navigation div.
  • Link to a couple of pages within the site
• Play around with some new div styles:
  • Demonstrate that using a width percentage for a DIV will mean the percentage of its container.  That container can be the entire body of the page or another DIV. 
  • Experiment with some other Div styles such as box shadow settings
    • background: linear-gradient(blue, white);

But now, how do we customize our divs?

• Add Class or ID selectors.
• ID Selectors - generally used for identifying single paragraphs or divs.

#para1 {


text-align: center;

color: red;

}

• Class Selectors - generally used for creating a classification of paragraphs or divs that you want to share a style>

  .centeredParagraphs {

  text-align: center;

  color: red;

  }

• You can also use p.center to only affect Paragraphs with the center class.  This will become useful later when we do hover.
