Transcrição de Using inspect element for CSS styles
- 0:00- [Voiceover] Here I'm checking out a webpage
- 0:02that a student made about Joan of Arc.
- 0:05And it's a really good-looking webpage.
- 0:07I really like it.
- 0:09So I'm curious what CSS styles
- 0:11are making it look the way it looks.
- 0:13Now, I've got the code right here,
- 0:15so I could just look through it
- 0:17and get a feel this way,
- 0:19but I can also use "Inspect Element"
- 0:22to figure it out even faster.
- 0:26Let me show you.
- 0:27Let's say I want to know about this text here
- 0:31and what's making it look the way it looks.
- 0:33I'm going to right-click on it,
- 0:36click "Inspect Element," wait for this thing to pop up.
- 0:41So we can see the text is highlighted,
- 0:43this is a '<p>' tag here, and it has a class name.
- 0:47And now I can see, I have this "Styles" panel.
- 0:51This is where all the CSS
- 0:53for a particular element shows up.
- 0:55And we can see all the different rules
- 0:58that apply to it, and what order they get applied.
- 1:00So this 'title' rule is making it so that
- 1:03it's center-aligned and bold, we can see that.
- 1:07And this other rule, the 'i1', is making it
- 1:11so that it has a .9m font size
- 1:14and .26 opacity.
- 1:16OK, cool, now I might think that maybe
- 1:19it should be more opaque
- 1:21to be a little more readable.
- 1:22I can actually just go in here
- 1:24and play with it, and see what it looks like.
- 1:27And this will just update the preview.
- 1:30It's not actually updating their code.
- 1:33It's just updating how it looks
- 1:34in the browser right now.
- 1:36If I wanted them to update their code,
- 1:38I have to tell them like
- 1:39"Hey, why don't you try this instead?
- 1:41"I think this will be more readable."
- 1:43So I can play around with any of these values here.
- 1:47I can also add new properties.
- 1:49Oh, that was big.
- 1:50So if I think that maybe it should be a different color,
- 1:54I could go in and say 'color' and then
- 1:59it gives me a bunch to pick from.
- 2:01Or, I can write in a hexadecimal,
- 2:07and then I can get a little color-picker,
- 2:09and say I really like this green instead.
- 2:15So I can just really easily play around with things
- 2:19and see what they look like.
- 2:21So when is this useful?
- 2:23Well it's useful if you're curious about the CSS
- 2:25of another person's webpage
- 2:27and you're trying to understand
- 2:29how they achieved some particular effect.
- 2:31It's also useful if you're working
- 2:35on the design of a webpage that maybe
- 2:37you don't have access to the HTML for.
- 2:40You can go in, make some CSS changes,
- 2:42and then forward on those suggestions
- 2:44to whoever can change the HTML.
- 2:47And it's also just kind of fun
- 2:49to mess with other people's webpages.
