CSS Cascading Style Sheets

Use the attribute BGCOLOR=".." inside the start Body tag using the color you want as the value. It should look like this: this will give you a black background, and at the end of your HTML document you close the Body Of cause if you use a black background you cannot use black font. You won't be able to see it. You can set the value=".." of the background to what ever you like.

In CSS a class is a user-defined selector that can be applied to multiple elements on a single page. In the style sheet when setting the rules for a class you precede your class name with a period. This looks like:

.myclassname {

font-color: #000000;

font-size: 1em;

font-weight: normal;

}

This tells the browser that this is a class and should be applied to any element that has a class="myclassname" as part of the element attributes. For example:

<p class="myclassname">This is a paragraph</p>

This paragraph would be styled based upon the rules declared above. However the following example would not because it doesn't have a class attribute and it isn't set to myclassname:

<p id="myuniqueid">This is a paragraph</p>

'CSS padding' refers to additional blank space created between the border and the content of a webpage created with the Cascading Style Sheets programming language. The purpose of padding is to make pages more aesthetically pleasing and easier to read.

You can choose to implement or ignore any technologies you wish. However, CSS is well-worth understanding and using. Standard HTML has very limited display and design options, and no satisfying mechanism for creating advanced layouts. Clever developers forced the table mechanism to be a crude formatting tool, but that was a hack.

CSS provides a much more powerful and flexible tool for laying out your site and specifying its visual design. With CSS, you can modify the appearance of all instances of a particular element at once. (For example, you can easily specify that all paragraph tags will be purple on a yellow background. I don't know why you'd do that.) You can also designate specific parts of your page and style them quite precisely. CSS has a number of page-layout mechanisms that allow you to create a page layout much more reliably than the old frame or table-based techniques.

If you're using XHTML strict, the tags that used to be used for layout and design (<font>, <center>, <b>, <i> and so on) are no longer supported. You're expected to use the CSS variations instead.

A div is a block element. This means that if you use a div, unless you float objects next to it using CSS, the div will be alone on a line. A span is an inline element. This means that unless you use line breaks next to it or change it to a block element using CSS, the span will be on the same line as whatever is next or before to it in the code.

For example:

This is a

<div>element</div>

text is above and below but not beside

This is a <span>element</span>, text is before and after on the same line.

Cascading Style Sheet, or CSS, is a web standard to describe the presentation semantics of a document written in a markup language. In web design CSS is used to separate the document presentation from the document content. CSS specifies a priority scheme in how rules are to be used, thus the cascading effect that is referred to in the name Cascading Style Sheet.

instead of putting your CSS in a separate file, you can append it to the HTML tag itself like so:

<span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">

this is highly unrecommended though, because if you do your styling that way, you have a lot of mixing between HTML and CSS and editing the style (e.g. replacing large portions of CSS code to apply a new design to a site) WILL be a pain.

You achieve this by using the CSS width property. For example, if I wanted all text boxes to have a width of 325px I can achieve this using the following CSS rule declaration:

input[type="text"] {

width: 325px;

}

This rule applies only to those input elements with a type="text" which is what is used in HTML to create a text box in a form and sets the width to be 325px wide.

Block lettering without the little lines highlighting the termination of the lines that comprise the individual letters. Sans is French language for "without".

<style type="text/css"></style>

No, HTML is a mark up language and css ( cascading style sheet) is a way of styling a web page eg, bgcolor, text color size and font ect, you can write the css in the HTML or make it separate and link the HTML to it

Try this:

<span style =" outline: none; box-shadow: 0 0 10px green;">Look, a glowing border! </span>

Not sure what is asked, so two answers in one! It can be inline(with the tag,) embedded(in the head) or external(linked in the head.) The other answer deals with external and the declaration of "media" within the link in the Head tag. More than three choices, but relevance and browser support narrow them down since it is up to the browser maker to decide how it is rendered - generally "screen, print and accessiblity(auditory, etc.)

CSS can be integrated in three ways: Inline: Style attribute can be used to have CSS applied HTML elements. Embedded: The Head element can have a Style element within which the code can be placed. Linked/ Imported: CSS can be placed in an external file and linked via link element.

CSS is used to style HTML (and other markup languages) pages. The browser looks at the rules declared in CSS and applies those rules to the relevant HTML elements that it finds in the web page it is rendering. These rules can affect what font typeface is used, what size the font should be, the color of the font, background colors, the alignment of text, placement of images, text, and other items on the web page, and more.

server-side and client-side. In the server-side method, when you click an image leading to multiple links, you are actually invoking a cgi-bin program. The program typically reads a separate map file that tells the program where to go, depending on what part of the image you are clicking. The program returns the destination to the web browser, which then opens the page. The imagemap is called "server-side" because the web browser must contact the remote host to find which site to contact.

Client-side imagemaps, by contrast, do not require a cgi-bin program to function. The imagemap is actually an HTML construct that can be contained on the same page as the clickable image. Rather than requiring the program on the remote host to determine what site to access, the web browser itself associates regions of the image with the appropriate sites. The browser, rather than the remote host, interprets the imagemap.

well simple for the year 2009 red is the new black and black and white stripes are fabulous

You cant in HTML. Try Javascript (however it is better if you use a picture editor like Macromedia Fireworks and save the image as .jpg),

You can. You would have to program it though. I have some of the "text moving features" added to my personal HTML. You could do the same.

Use the CSS declaration "background-color"

For instance...

<style type="text/css">

body { background-color: red; }

</style>

That code will change the background color to red. Background color will take the same values for a color as all other CSS color. A named color keyword, a hex RGB value, a decimal RGB value, and a decimal RGBA value.

Most of the CSS is overall important. Styling text boxes, fonts, images etc can be done in CSS.

If by "external" you refer to separate .css style sheet files instead of style sheets as parts of HTML pages, the short answer is: Avoiding headaches and redundancy.

You can define one or several complex style sheets and use it for hundreds of pages. Changing one definition will update your whole site.

Also, an external style sheet will be cached, so a user's browser only has to load it once. This saves time and bandwidth.
