8. Practice with the Cascade. In this exercise, you will create two web pages that link to the same external style sheet. After modifying the configuration in the external style sheet, you will test your pages again and find that they automatically pick up the new style configuration. Finally, you will add an inline style to one of the pages and find that it takes effect and overrides the external style.

a. Create a web page that includes an unordered list describing at least three CSS properties that can be used to format text. The text “CSS Properties” should be contained within <h1> tags. Write the HTML code so that one of the properties is configured to be a class called favorite. Place an e-mail link to yourself on the web page. The web page should be associated with the external style sheet called ex8.css. Save the page as properties.html.
b. Create an external style sheet (call it ex8.css) to format as follows: document background color of white; document text color of #000099; and document font family of Arial, Helvetica, or sans-serif. Hyperlinks should have a background color of gray (#CCCCCC). <h1> elements should use the Times New Roman font with black text color. The favorite class should use red italic text.
c. Launch a browser and test your work. Display the properties.html page. It should use the formatting configured in ex8.css. Modify the web page or the CSS file until your page displays as requested.
d. Change the configuration of the external style sheet (ex8.css) to use a document background color of black, document text color of white, and <h1> text color of gray (#CCCCCC). Save the file. Launch a browser and test the properties.html page. Notice how it picks up the new styles from the external style sheet.
e. Modify the properties.html file to use an inline style. The inline style should be applied to the <h1> tag and configure it to have red text. Save the properties.html page, and test in a browser. Notice how the <h1> text color specified in the style sheet is overridden by the inline style.

Hands-On Practice 6.11 and
6.12 as a guide. Make a list of things to do (activities) at this location. Make a list of things to see or famous places (sights) to visit at this location. The single page website should include three “pages”—Home, Activities, and Sights. Either use your own vacation photos or select relevant royalty-free photos from the Web (refer to
