This is just something I found on face book. I noticed that adobe is providing a program called flash builder 3 to students and teachers for free. It’s some form of web design application I guess. Thought the class would like to know.

These may come in handy, if you’re having trouble remembering the different tags and attributes for XHTML and CSS2, or if you just like having a reference.
XHTML Cheat Sheet
http://floele.flyspray.org/htmlcheatsheet.pdf
Every tag, and every attribute that you can use for them, including which attributes are required for that tag. Even lets you know which attributes are deprecated, but still usable in XHTML Transitional.
CSS2 Basic Cheat Sheet
http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/css-cheat-sheet/
This helps to clarify the pseudo-selectors, advanced selectors, as well as what CSS considers margin/padding/border/etc (very important when dealing with positioning)
CSS2 Expanded Cheat Sheet
http://www.veign.com/downloads/guides/qrg0007.pdf
If you want more information about what values are used with each property, take a look at this one. It’s quite detailed, and can be overwhelming to the beginner.

Having trouble with formatting your pages to view the same in each browser? Since each browser has their own methods of display, the easiest and quickest way to make sure they style the same, is to clear the default styling, giving you full control over how it displays.
Below is a link to a set of CSS rules I discovered a few years back that you can download or copy/paste and use in your own site to clear the default sizes and margins, etc of the basic html tags, making it clean and easy to apply your own.
http://test.medieval-man.com/includes/clear.css
The recommended method of using this is to save a separate CSS file (I keep it named “clear.css”) in the same location as your own CSS file, then in the first line of your own CSS file, you link to it with the following command:
@import url(clear.css);
It has to be placed BEFORE any other CSS rules, so that your own rules will inherit these settings.
This can help, especially if you use it from the get-go.
