Question

Create an items-for-sale web site.

The following requirements must be met: Can this be done without CSS?

1. The home page must have a link for a user to register with the site and a link to at least one category of items for sale.

2. The Register page must meet the following requirements:

2.1 It must be exactly as shown in the the example output, with the following exceptions: The word "coin" must be replaced by the name of your item for sale. The radio buttons and check boxes must be changed to make sense for your item.

2.2. The layout of each section must be achieved using a table (3 tables in all).

2.3. When its submit button is clicked, the form must post its data to:
http://www.idocs.com/tags/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl

2.4. The zip code field must not allow more than 5 characters to be entered.

2.5. The page must include a hidden field named "hiddenField" that will post the value "hidden value".

2.6. The state field must have an initial selection of "Georgia". The posted data for states must be their 2-character abbreviation. For example, "GA" will post if Georgia was selected. You do not need to include every state. Include the first 12 states and an item that indicates there are more.

3. The items-for-sale page (Lincoln Cents in the example output) must meet the following requirements:

3.1. The table must include at least one small image for each item. The example output shows 2 image columns (front and back) for each item.

3.2. One of the columns must include a description of the item's condition.

3.3. One of the columns must contain a right-justified asking price.

3.4. The first column must contain a short name/code for the item. One of these must be a link that leads to a corresponding detail page for that item.

3.5 The first row must be a header row that uses a theme-appropriate background color.

4. The detail page (Detail - 1909-S VDB in the example output) must meet the following requirements:

4.1. The first row of the table must have 2 columns with a larger sized view of the item in each.

4.2. The second row must span both columns and must contain detailed information about the item.

4.3 After the table, the asking price and contact information must be present as shown in the example output.

5. Every page except the home page must have a breadcrumbs navigation area.

6. You may use "filler text" to fill out paragraphs as shown in the assignment example output. However, you must also have some specific, non-filler text.

Explanation / Answer

yes, creating an items for sale website is possible using HTML and no need of using CSS

Yes you can. But the website will look like a word document with default font and colors (if any). HTML provides a skeleton/structure to the web page and CSS provides the skin to it.

//HTML has colours,links,buttons,images,comments,quotations,format but the appearance will be outstanding if we use css

//The website looks as follows only with html .

Seriously,

Let me describe your perfect website using HTML:

You spent hours on it and added 80 kilobytes to your site, and some jabbing at it on their iPad with fat sausage fingers will never see that.

you can also design your pages using the SVG format (either by typing the code or in a tool like Inkscape for example).

However, you really shouldn’t, not just because CSS is the standard, or because others tell you not to, but because of the end-result. CSS allows you to make dynamic websites. For example, one page that looks different on a smartphone (perhaps a sidebar is hidden or displayed differently, focusing on the main content of the page so that it can be read on the small screens), and different on a computer (maybe somewhat more bulky, with additional content, and even ads in some cases, even though I’m not fan of ads, there’s usually a way to add them fairly and discretely without ruining, limiting, or actually obstructing the experience for the visitor). Using only images, you would be limited very much when it comes to making elements that need to “move” or receive input, such as forms and scrollbars.

Another advantage of CSS over using images and image-maps, for example, is that since you won’t have to load huge images to display your website, the size of the website will be much smaller = faster loading. SVG was also not designed for this purpose, and will not behave as good as CSS styled elements.

If you're coding from scratch though it makes much more sense to just use CSS. You can add style to your HTML document (known as inline styling) but this adds more load to the webpage and looks really messy too. For example you may have: <p></p>. That's what it would look like if you added the style to your HTML code. CSS is actually a big time saver. If you create a website that has hundreds of pages the CSS allows you to universally change the style across ALL those pages (providing they use the same stylesheet). If you put the style in the HTML code you will have to go through and do it for each individual page which will be a time consuming task.
