Notes
Overview
Aim of this document is to make notes of various things as I encounter them. Consider it learning from working through specific challenges or other exercises. Probably should be in a note app, or a wiki, or something, but for now they are here.
Think of it as a combination of learning, and tips and tricks. They will start unorganised, and then should be put into some semblance of order; where that is possible.
Note took far to long, but site now using main for branch.
The Notes Themselves (unorganised)

Now little difference between
<input type="submit">
and<button>
.- It used to be the case that IE6 didn't properly support it, so your website would look broken.
- By default
<button>
impliestype="submit"
- A
button
can have child elements, an<input type="submit">
can't. (verify)

When using

the increases are compound, so if you have ap
, inside adiv
, insidebody

font size is set inpx
. Thediv

to set a relative size, then that relative size would be- in
div

p
: div relative font size * p's font size in em -
body { font-size: 20px; } div { font-size: 2em; /* font size is 40px */ } p { font-size: 2em; /* font size in this div is now 80px */ }

Random aside: can't carry on a list after putting a codeblock inside a list

CSS - The "!important" rule should only be used as a last resort - nuclear option
- better to do elementName.className when wanting to temp add a class to override some css (like say a border color)
