What you'll learn

In this HTML tutorial we'll take a look at document flow to better understand the default behavior of elements, and why they render the way they do. When you want to start creating fancy layouts with HTML and CSS, it can be confusing to understand why certain changes are happening, and why some changes you make do nothing at all. By understanding Document Flow, you'll be empowered to make better decisions when writing HTML, and be able to write more efficient CSS that uses the default behavior of elements to your advantage. This HTML training assumes a basic understanding of HTML and CSS. Software required: Adobe Edge Code, Google Chrome.
