HTML LAYOUT

HTML LAYOUT
● Websites often display content in multiple columns (like a magazine or a
newspaper).
HTML Layout Elements
HTML has several semantic elements that define the different parts of a web page:

● <header> - Defines a header for a document or


a section
● <nav> - Defines a set of navigation links
● <section> - Defines a section in a document
● <article> - Defines an independent,
self-contained content
● <aside> - Defines content aside from the
content (like a sidebar)
● <footer> - Defines a footer for a document or a
section
● <details> - Defines additional details that the
user can open and close on demand
● <summary> - Defines a heading for the
<details> element.
HTML Layout Techniques
● There are four different techniques to create multicolumn layouts. Each technique
has its pros and cons:
○ CSS framework
○ CSS float property
○ CSS flexbox
○ CSS grid

CSS Frameworks
If you want to create your layout fast, you can use a CSS framework, like
Materialize.css or Bootstrap.
CSS Float Layout
● It is common to do entire web layouts using the CSS float property. Float is
easy to learn - you just need to remember how the float and clear properties
work. Disadvantages: Floating elements are tied to the document flow, which
may harm the flexibility.
CSS Flexbox Layout

● Use of flexbox ensures that elements behave predictably when the page
layout must accommodate different screen sizes and different display
devices.
CSS Grid Layout
● The CSS Grid Layout Module offers a grid-based layout system, with rows
and columns, making it easier to design web pages without having to use
floats and positioning.
