Web Developer's Reference Guide

By: Joshua Johanan, Talha Khan, Ricardo Zea

Overview of this book

This comprehensive reference guide takes you through each topic in web development and highlights the most popular and important elements of each area. Starting with HTML, you will learn key elements and attributes and how they relate to each other. Next, you will explore CSS pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, followed by CSS properties and functions. This will introduce you to many powerful and new selectors. You will then move on to JavaScript. This section will not just introduce functions, but will provide you with an entire reference for the language and paradigms. You will discover more about three of the most popular frameworks today—Bootstrap, which builds on CSS, jQuery which builds on JavaScript, and AngularJS, which also builds on JavaScript. Finally, you will take a walk-through Node.js, which is a server-side framework that allows you to write programs in JavaScript.

Paging


Although we build sites and applications for the Web, sometimes what we make is also printed.

The following properties will help us make our content more presentable and better handled across pages when printed.

page-break-after

The page-break-after CSS property defines where the page breaks after a specific element, and it looks like this:

page-break-after: always;

Description

What this means is that when a new page break is created, a new page will be printed.

It works only on block-level elements. Also, since this property is used for printing, it's common to see it inside an @print media query.

This property supports five keyword values: always, auto, avoid, left, and right.

  • always: This value will force a page break after the element.

  • auto: This is the default value. It creates automatic page breaks.

  • avoid: This will not allow any page breaks after the element, if possible.

  • left: This will force one or two page breaks after the element in order...
