Checklist

Ensure you keep to the following guidelines:

  1. Use meaningful names for classes and IDs (e.g. ".left_column" instead of "class569").
  2. Create an ID rather than a class if the style can only be used one time on the page.
  3. Place the CSS in an external style sheet when the style is to be used on more than one HTML page.
  4. Only use tables for tabular data; use CSS instead of tables for positioning.
  5. Note that use of attributes such as font & color in HTML tags has been deprecated - use CSS instead.
  6. Check for valid CSS & HTML using a CSS Validator and a HTML Validator
  7. Check appearance of pages in multiple browsers to ensure they are rendered correctly.
