Styles Solved a Big Problem

HTML was never intended to contain tags for formatting a document. HTML was intended to define the content of a document, like:

CSS Quiz CSS Exam <h1>This is a heading</h1> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> When tags like <font>, and color attributes were added to the HTML 3.2 specification, it started a nightmare for web developers. Development of large web sites, where fonts and color information were added to every single page, became a long and expensive process. To solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) created CSS. In HTML 4.0, all formatting could be removed from the HTML document, and stored in a separate CSS file. All browsers support CSS today.

CSS Saves a Lot of Work!

CSS defines HOW HTML elements are to be displayed. Styles are normally saved in external .css files. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in a Web site, just by editing one single file!

CSS Syntax
A CSS rule has two main parts: a selector, and one or more declarations:

WEB BUILDING XML Editor Free Trial! FREE Flash Website FREE Web Templates SEO Company US Web Design Schools W3SCHOOLS EXAMS Get Certified in: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, PHP, and ASP W3SCHOOLS BOOKS

The selector is normally the HTML element you want to style. Each declaration consists of a property and a value. The property is the style attribute you want to change. Each property has a value.

CSS declarations always ends with a semicolon, and declaration groups are surrounded by curly brackets:

CSS Comments
Comments are used to explain your code, and may help you when you edit the source code at a later date. Comments are ignored by browsers. A CSS comment begins with "/*", and ends with "*/", like this:

The id and class Selectors

In addition to setting a style for a HTML element, CSS allows you to specify your own selectors called "id" and "class".

CSS Box Model

CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Box Model Border Outline Margin Padding

The id Selector
The id selector is used to specify a style for a single, unique element. The id selector uses the id attribute of the HTML element, and is defined with a "#". The style rule below will be applied to the element with id="para1":

The class Selector

The class selector is used to specify a style for a group of elements. Unlike the id selector, the class selector is most often used on several elements. This allows you to set a particular style for any HTML elements with the same class. The class selector uses the HTML class attribute, and is defined with a "." In the example below, all HTML elements with class="center" will be center-aligned:

When a browser reads a style sheet, it will format the document according to it.

UK Reseller Hosting Web Hosting FREE Web Hosting

Three Ways to Insert CSS

There are three ways of inserting a style sheet:
l l l

Top Web Hosting $0 Doteasy Web Hosting WEB BUILDING XML Editor Free Trial! FREE Flash Website FREE Web Templates SEO Company

CSS Box Model

CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Box Model Border Outline Margin Padding External style sheet Internal style sheet Inline style

External Style Sheet

An external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to many pages. With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire Web site by changing one file. Each page must link to the style sheet using the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the head section:

US Web Design Schools W3SCHOOLS EXAMS Get Certified in: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, PHP, and ASP W3SCHOOLS BOOKS

<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" /> </head>

New Books: HTML, CSS JavaScript, and Ajax STATISTICS

An external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file should not contain any html tags. Your style sheet should be saved with a .css extension. An example of a style sheet file is shown below:

CSS Examples
CSS Examples

CSS Quiz CSS Exam

hr {color:sienna;} p {margin-left:20px;} body {background-image:url("images/back40.gif");}

Share with

CSS References
CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Reference Reference A to Z Reference Aural Web Safe Fonts Units Colors Colorvalues Colornames

Do not leave spaces between the property value and the units! "margin-left:20 px" (instead of "margin-left:20px") will work in IE, but not in Firefox or Opera.

Internal Style Sheet

An internal style sheet should be used when a single document has a unique style. You define internal styles in the head section of an HTML page, by using the <style> tag, like this:

<head> <style type="text/css"> hr {color:sienna;} p {margin-left:20px;} body {background-image:url("images/back40.gif");} </style> </head>

Inline Styles
An inline style loses many of the advantages of style sheets by mixing content with presentation. Use this method sparingly! To use inline styles you use the style attribute in the relevant tag. The style attribute can contain any CSS property. The example shows how to change the color and the left margin of a paragraph:

<p style="color:sienna;margin-left:20px">This is a paragraph.</p>

Multiple Style Sheets

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp

Page 1 / 3

If some properties have been set for the same selector in different style sheets, the values will be inheritedfromthemorespecificstylesheet. For example, an external style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:

h3 { color:red; text-align:left; font-size:8pt; }

And an internal style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:

h3 { text-align:right; font-size:20pt; }

If the page with the internal style sheet also links to the external style sheet the properties for h3 will be:

color:red; text-align:right; font-size:20pt;

The color is inherited from the external style sheet and the text-alignment and the font-size is replaced by the internal style sheet.

Multiple Styles Will Cascade into One

Styles can be specified:
l l l

inside an HTML element inside the head section of an HTML page in an external CSS file

Tip: Even multiple external style sheets can be referenced inside a single HTML document.

Cascading order
What style will be used when there is more than one style specified for an HTML element? Generally speaking we can say that all the styles will "cascade" into a new "virtual" style sheet by the following rules, where number four has the highest priority: 1. 2. 3. 4. Browser default External style sheet Internal style sheet (in the head section) Inline style (inside an HTML element)

So, an inline style (inside an HTML element) has the highest priority, which means that it will override a style defined inside the <head> tag, or in an external style sheet, or in a browser (a default value). Note: If the link to the external style sheet is placed after the internal style sheet in HTML <head>, the external style sheet will override the internal style sheet!

Background Color
The background-color property specifies the background color of an element. The background color of a page is defined in the body selector:

CSS References
CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Reference Reference A to Z Reference Aural Web Safe Fonts Units Colors Colorvalues Colornames

Background Image
The background-image property specifies an image to use as the background of an element. By default, the image is repeated so it covers the entire element. The background image for a page can be set like this:

Example
body {background-image:url('paper.gif');}
Try it yourself

Below is an example of a bad combination of text and background image. The text is almost not readable:

Example
body {background-image:url('bgdesert.jpg');}
Try it yourself

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

Page 1 / 4

Background Image - Repeat Horizontally or Vertically

By default, the background-image property repeats an image both horizontally and vertically. Some images should be repeated only horizontally or vertically, or theywilllookstrange,likethis:

Example
body { background-image:url('gradient2.png'); }
Try it yourself

If the image is repeated only horizontally (repeat-x), the background will look better:

Example
body { background-image:url('gradient2.png'); background-repeat:repeat-x; }
Try it yourself

Background Image - Set position and no-repeat

When using a background image, use an image that does not disturb the text. Showing the image only once is specified by the background-repeat property:

Example
body { background-image:url('img_tree.png'); background-repeat:no-repeat; }
Try it yourself

In the example above, the background image is shown in the same place as the text. We want to change the position of the image, so that it does not disturb the text too much. The position of the image is specified by the background-position property:

Example
body { background-image:url('img_tree.png'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:right top; }
Try it yourself

Background - Shorthand property

As you can see from the examples above, there are many properties to consider when dealing with backgrounds. To shorten the code, it is also possible to specify all the properties in one single property. This is called a shorthand property. The shorthand property for background is simply "background":

Example
body {background:#ffffff url('img_tree.png') no-repeat right top;}
Try it yourself

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

Page 2 / 4

When using the shorthand property the order of the property values are:
l l l l l

background-color background-image background-repeat background-attachment background-position

It does not matter if one of the property values are missing, as long as the ones that are present are in this order. This example uses more advanced CSS. Take a look: Advanced example

More Examples
How to set a fixed background image This example demonstrates how to set a fixed background image. The image will not scroll with the rest of the page.

Text Alignment
The text-align property is used to set the horizontal alignment of a text. Text can be centered, or aligned to the left or right, or justified. When text-align is set to "justify", each line is stretched so that every line has equal width, and the left and right margins are straight (like in magazines and newspapers).

Text Decoration
The text-decoration property is used to set or remove decorations from text. The text-decoration property is mostly used to remove underlines from links for design purposes:

Example
a {text-decoration:none;}

It can also be used to decorate text:

Try it yourself

It is not recommended to underline text that is not a link, as this often confuses users.

Text Transformation
The text-transform property is used to specify uppercase and lowercase letters in a text. It can be used to turn everything into uppercase or lowercase letters, or capitalize the first letter of each word.

Example
p.uppercase {text-transform:uppercase;} p.lowercase {text-transform:lowercase;} p.capitalize {text-transform:capitalize;}

CSS Font Families

In CSS, there are two types of font family names:
l l

generic family - a group of font families with a similar look (like "Serif" or "Monospace") font family - a specific font family (like "Times New Roman" or "Arial") Font family Description Serif fonts have small lines at the ends on some characters "Sans" means without - these fonts do not have the lines at the ends of characters All monospace characters has the same width

Generic family

Font Family
The font family of a text is set with the font-family property. The font-family property should hold several font names as a "fallback" system. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font. Start with the font you want, and end with a generic family, to let the browser pick a similar font in the generic family, if no other fonts are available. Note: If the name of a font family is more than one word, it must be in quotation marks, like fontfamily: "Times New Roman". More than one font family is specified in a comma-separated list:

Example
p{font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;}

For more commonly used font combinations, look at our Web Safe Font Combinations.

Font Style
The font-style property is mostly used to specify italic text.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp

Page 1 / 4

This property has three values:

l l l

normal - The text is shown normally italic - The text is shown in italics oblique - The text is "leaning" (oblique is very similar to italic, but less supported)

Example
p.normal {font-style:normal;} p.italic {font-style:italic;} p.oblique {font-style:oblique;}
Try it yourself

Font Size
The font-size property sets the size of the text. Being able to manage the text size is important in web design. However, you should not use font size adjustments to make paragraphs look like headings, or headings look like paragraphs. Always use the proper HTML tags, like <h1> - <h6> for headings and <p> for paragraphs. The font-size value can be an absolute, or relative size. Absolute size:
l l l

Sets the text to a specified size Does not allow a user to change the text size in all browsers (bad for accessibility reasons) Absolute size is useful when the physical size of the output is known

Relative size:
l l

Sets the size relative to surrounding elements Allows a user to change the text size in browsers

If you do not specify a font size, the default size for normal text, like paragraphs, is 16px (16px=1em).

Set Font Size With Pixels

Setting the text size with pixels, gives you full control over the text size:

Example
h1 {font-size:40px;} h2 {font-size:30px;} p {font-size:14px;}
Try it yourself

The example above allows Firefox, Chrome, and Safari to resize the text, but not Internet Explorer. The text can be resized in all browsers using the zoom tool (however, this resizes the entire page, not just the text).

Set Font Size With Em

To avoid the resizing problem with Internet Explorer, many developers use em instead of pixels. The em size unit is recommended by the W3C. 1em is equal to the current font size. The default text size in browsers is 16px. So, the default size of 1em is 16px. The size can be calculated from pixels to em using this formula: pixels/16=em

Example
h1 {font-size:2.5em;} /* 40px/16=2.5em */ h2 {font-size:1.875em;} /* 30px/16=1.875em */ p {font-size:0.875em;} /* 14px/16=0.875em */
Try it yourself

In the example above, the text size in em is the same as the previous example in pixels. However, with the em size, it is possible to adjust the text size in all browsers.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp

Page 2 / 4

Unfortunately, there is still a problem with IE. When resizing the text, it becomes larger than it should when made larger, and smaller than it should when made smaller.

Use a Combination of Percent and Em

The solution that works in all browsers, is to set a default font-size in percent for the body element:

Example
body {font-size:100%;} h1 {font-size:2.5em;} h2 {font-size:1.875em;} p {font-size:0.875em;}
Try it yourself

Our code now works great! It shows the same text size in all browsers, and allows all browsers to zoom or resize the text!

Common Link Styles

In the example above the link changes color depending on what state it is in. Lets go through some of the other common ways to style links:

Text Decoration
The text-decoration property is mostly used to remove underlines from links:

Note: No versions of Internet Explorer (including IE8) support the property values "decimalleading-zero", "lower-greek", "lower-latin", "upper-latin", "armenian", or "georgian".

An Image as The List Item Marker

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_list.asp

Page 1 / 3

To specify an image as the list item marker, use the list-style-image property:

Example
ul { list-style-image: url('sqpurple.gif'); }
Try it yourself

The example above does not display equally in all browsers. IE and Opera will display the imagemarker a little bit higher than Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. If you want the image-marker to be placed equally in all browsers, a crossbrowser solution is explained below.

Crossbrowser Solution
The following example displays the image-marker equally in all browsers:

Example
ul { list-style-type: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } li { background-image: url(sqpurple.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0px 5px; padding-left: 14px; }
Try it yourself

Example explained:
l

For ul:

Set the list-style-type to none to remove the list item marker Set both padding and margin to 0px (for cross-browser compatibility) Set the URL of the image, and show it only once (no-repeat) Position the image where you want it (left 0px and down 5px) Position the text in the list with padding-left

For li:

List - Shorthand property

It is also possible to specify all the list properties in one, single property. This is called a shorthand property. The shorthand property used for lists, is the list-style property:

Example
ul { list-style: square url("sqpurple.gif"); }
Try it yourself

When using the shorthand property, the order of the values are:
l l l

list-style-type list-style-position (for a description, see the CSS properties table below) list-style-image

It does not matter if one of the values above are missing, as long as the rest are in the specified order.

The CSS Box Model

All HTML elements can be considered as boxes. In CSS, the term "box model" is used when talking about design and layout. The CSS box model is essentially a box that wraps around HTML elements, and it consists of: margins, borders, padding, and the actual content. The box model allows us to place a border around elements and space elements in relation to other elements. The image below illustrates the box model:

In order to set the width and height of an element correctly in all browsers, you need to know how the box model works.

Width and Height of an Element

Important: When you specify the width and height properties of an element with CSS, you are just setting the width and height of the content area. To know the full size of the element, you must alsoaddthepadding,borderandmargin. The total width of the element in the example below is 300px:

width:250px; padding:10px; border:5px solid gray; margin:10px;

Let's do the math: 250px (width) + 20px (left and right padding) + 10px (left and right border) + 20px (left and right margin) = 300px Imagine that you only had 250px of space. Let's make an element with a total width of 250px:

Example

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp

Page 1 / 3

width:220px; padding:10px; border:5px solid gray; margin:0px;

Try it yourself

The total width of an element should always be calculated like this: Total element width = width + left padding + right padding + left border + right border + left margin + right margin The total height of an element should always be calculated like this: Total element height = height + top padding + bottom padding + top border + bottom border + top margin + bottom margin

Browsers Compatibility Issue

If you tested the previous example in Internet Explorer, you saw that the total width was not exactly 250px. IE includes padding and border in the width, when the width property is set, unless a DOCTYPE is declared. To fix this problem, just add a DOCTYPE to the code:

Example
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> div.ex { width:220px; padding:10px; border:5px solid gray; margin:0px; } </style> </head>

Border Width
The border-width property is used to set the width of the border. The width is set in pixels, or by using one of the three pre-defined values: thin, medium, or thick. Note: The "border-width" property does not work if it is used alone. Use the "border-style" property to set the borders first.

Example
p.one { border-style:solid; border-width:5px; } p.two { border-style:solid; border-width:medium; }
Try it yourself

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp

Page 1 / 4

Border Color
The border-color property is used to set the color of the border. The color can be set by:
l l l

name - specify a color name, like "red" RGB - specify a RGB value, like "rgb(255,0,0)" Hex - specify a hex value, like "#ff0000"

You can also set the border color to "transparent". Note: The "border-color" property does not work if it is used alone. Use the "border-style" property to set the borders first.

Example
p.one { border-style:solid; border-color:red; } p.two { border-style:solid; border-color:#98bf21; }
Try it yourself

Border - Individual sides

In CSS it is possible to specify different borders for different sides:

Example
p { border-top-style:dotted; border-right-style:solid; border-bottom-style:dotted; border-left-style:solid; }
Try it yourself

The example above can also be set with a single property:

Example
border-style:dotted solid;
Try it yourself

The border-style property can have from one to four values.

border-style:dotted solid double dashed; top border is dotted right border is solid bottom border is double left border is dashed border-style:dotted solid double; top border is dotted right and left borders are solid bottom border is double border-style:dotted solid; top and bottom borders are dotted right and left borders are solid border-style:dotted; all four borders are dotted

The border-style property is used in the example above. However, it also works with border-width and border-color.

Border - Shorthand property

As you can see from the examples above, there are many properties to consider when dealing with borders. To shorten the code, it is also possible to specify all the border properties in one property. This is called a shorthand property.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp

Page 2 / 4

The shorthand property for the border properties is "border":

Example
border:5px solid red;
Try it yourself

When using the border property, the order of the values are:
l l l

border-width border-style border-color

It does not matter if one of the values above are missing (although, border-style is required), as long as the rest are in the specified order.

Hiding an Element - display:none or visibility:hidden

Hiding an element can be done by setting the display property to "none" or the visibility property to "hidden". However, notice that these two methods produce different results: visibility:hidden hides an element, but it will still take up the same space as before. The element will be hidden, but still affect the layout.

CSS Display - Block and Inline Elements

A block element is an element that takes up the full width available, and has a line break before and after it. Examples of block elements:
l l l

<h1> <p> <div>

An inline element only takes up as much width as necessary, and does not force line breaks. Examples of inline elements:
l l

Changing How an Element is Displayed

Changing an inline element to a block element, or vice versa, can be useful for making the page look a specific way, and still follow web standards. The following example displays list items as inline elements:

Example

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_display_visibility.asp

Page 1 / 2

li {display:inline;}
Try it yourself

The following example displays span elements as block elements:

Example
span {display:block;}
Try it yourself

Note: Changing the display type of an element changes only how the element is displayed, NOT what kind of element it is. For example: An inline element set to display:block is not allowed to have a block element nested inside of it.

CSS Positioning
Previous Next Chapter
Positioning can be tricky sometimes!

WEB HOSTING Best Web Hosting PHP MySQL Hosting Top 10 Web Hosting

CSS Styling
Styling Backgrounds Styling Text Styling Fonts Styling Links Styling Lists Styling Tables

Decide which element to display in front! Elements can overlap! Positioning

The CSS positioning properties allow you to position an element. It can also place an element behind another, and specify what should happen when an element's content is too big. Elements can be positioned using the top, bottom, left, and right properties. However, these properties will not work unless the position property is set first. They also work differently depending on the positioning method. There are four different positioning methods.

CSS Box Model

CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Box Model Border Outline Margin Padding

Static Positioning
HTML elements are positioned static by default. A static positioned element is always positioned according to the normal flow of the page. Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties.

Browser Statistics Browser OS Browser Display SHARE THIS PAGE Share with

CSS Examples
CSS Examples

Fixed Positioning
An element with fixed position is positioned relative to the browser window. It will not move even if the window is scrolled:

CSS References
CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Reference Reference A to Z Reference Aural Web Safe Fonts Units Colors Colorvalues Colornames

Example
p.pos_fixed { position:fixed; top:30px; right:5px; }
Try it yourself

Note: Internet Explorer supports the fixed value only if a !DOCTYPE is specified. Fixed positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The document and other elements behave like the fixed positioned element does not exist. Fixed positioned elements can overlap other elements.

Relative Positioning
A relative positioned element is positioned relative to its normal position.

Example
h2.pos_left { position:relative; left:-20px; } h2.pos_right {

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp

Page 1 / 4

position:relative; left:20px; }
Try it yourself

The content of a relatively positioned elements can be moved and overlap other elements, but the reserved space for the element is still preserved in the normal flow.

Example
h2.pos_top { position:relative; top:-50px; }
Try it yourself

Relatively positioned element are often used as container blocks for absolutely positioned elements.

Absolute Positioning
An absolute position element is positioned relative to the first parent element that has a position other than static. If no such element is found, the containing block is <html>:

Example
h2 { position:absolute; left:100px; top:150px; }
Try it yourself

Absolutely positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The document and other elements behave like the absolutely positioned element does not exist. Absolutely positioned elements can overlap other elements.

Overlapping Elements
When elements are positioned outside the normal flow, they can overlap other elements. The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should be placed in front of, or behind, the others). An element can have a positive or negative stack order:

Example
img { position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; z-index:-1 }
Try it yourself

An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.

More Examples

How to show overflow in an element using scroll This example demonstrates how to set the overflow property to create a scroll bar when an element's content is too big to fit in a specified area.

For aligning text, see the CSS Text chapter. In this chapter we will show you how to horizontally align block elements for layout purposes.

Center Aligning Using the margin Property

Block elements can be aligned by setting the left and right margins to "auto". Note: Using margin:auto will not work in Internet Explorer, unless a !DOCTYPE is declared.

STATISTICS Browser Statistics Browser OS Browser Display SHARE THIS PAGE

CSS Examples
CSS Examples

Setting the left and right margins to auto specifies that they should split the available margin equally. The result is a centered element:

Try it yourself

CSS References
CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Reference Reference A to Z Reference Aural Web Safe Fonts Units Colors Colorvalues Colornames

Tip: Aligning has no effect if the width is 100%. Note: In IE 5 there is a margin handling bug for block elements. To make the example above work in IE5, add some extra code. Try it yourself

Left and Right Aligning Using the position Property

One method of aligning elements is to use absolute positioning:

Example
.right { position:absolute; right:0px; width:300px; background-color:#b0e0e6; }
Try it yourself

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_align.asp

Page 1 / 3

Note: Absolute positioned elements are removed from the normal flow, and can overlap elements.

Crossbrowser Compatibility Issues

When aligning elements like this, it is always a good idea to predefine margin and padding for the <body> element. This is to avoid visual differences in different browsers. There is also another problem with IE when using the position property. If a container element (in our case <div class="container">) has a specified width, and the !DOCTYPE declaration is missing, IE will add a 17px margin on the right side. This seems to be space reserved for a scrollbar. Always set the !DOCTYPE declaration when using the position property:

Example
body { margin:0; padding:0; } .container { position:relative; width:100%; } .right { position:absolute; right:0px; width:300px; background-color:#b0e0e6; }
Try it yourself

Left and Right Aligning Using the float Property

One method of aligning elements is to use the float property:

Example
.right { float:right; width:300px; background-color:#b0e0e6; }
Try it yourself

Crossbrowser Compatibility Issues

When aligning elements like this, it is always a good idea to predefine margin and padding for the <body> element. This is to avoid visual differences in different browsers.

With CSS float, an element can be pushed to the left or right, allowing other elements to wrap around it. Float is very often used for images, but it is also useful when working with layouts.

SEO Company US Web Design Schools W3SCHOOLS EXAMS Get Certified in: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, PHP, and ASP W3SCHOOLS BOOKS

How Elements Float

Elements are floated horizontally, this means that an element can only be floated left or right, not up or down. A floated element will move as far to the left or right as it can. Usually this means all the way to the left or right of the containing element. The elements after the floating element will flow around it. The elements before the floating element will not be affected. If an image is floated to the right, a following text flows around it, to the left:

Floating Elements Next to Each Other

If you place several floating elements after each other, they will float next to each other if there is room. Here we have made an image gallery using the float property:

Example
.thumbnail { float:left; width:110px; height:90px; margin:5px; }
Try it yourself

Turning off Float - Using Clear

Elements after the floating element will flow around it. To avoid this, use the clear property.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp

Page 1 / 3

The clear property specifies which sides of an element other floating elements are not allowed. Add a text line into the image gallery, using the clear property:

Example
.text_line { clear:both; }
Try it yourself

More Examples
An image with border and margins that floats to the right in a paragraph Let an image float to the right in a paragraph. Add border and margins to the image. An image with a caption that floats to the right Let an image with a caption float to the right. Let the first letter of a paragraph float to the left Let the first letter of a paragraph float to the left and style the letter. Creating a horizontal menu Use float with a list of hyperlinks to create a horizontal menu. Creating a homepage without tables Use float to create a homepage with a header, footer, left content and main content.

All CSS Float Properties

The number in the "CSS" column indicates in which CSS version the property is defined (CSS1 or CSS2). Property clear Description Specifies which sides of an element where other floating elements are not allowed Values left right both none inherit left right none inherit CSS 1

Note: a:hover MUST come after a:link and a:visited in the CSS definition in order to be effective!! Note: a:active MUST come after a:hover in the CSS definition in order to be effective!! Note: Pseudo-class names are not case-sensitive.

Pseudo-classes and CSS Classes

Pseudo-classes can be combined with CSS classes:

a.red:visited {color:#FF0000;} <a class="red" href="css_syntax.asp">CSS Syntax</a>

If the link in the example above has been visited, it will be displayed in red.

CSS - The :first-child Pseudo-class

The :first-child pseudo-class matches a specified element that is the first child of another element. Note: For :first-child to work in IE a <!DOCTYPE> must be declared.

Match the first <p> element

In the following example, the selector matches any <p> element that is the first child of any element:

Example
<html>

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp

Page 1 / 3

<head> <style type="text/css"> p:first-child { color:blue; } </style> </head> <body> <p>I am a strong man.</p> <p>I am a strong man.</p> </body> </html>
Try it yourself

Match the first <i> element in all <p> elements

In the following example, the selector matches the first <i> element in all <p> elements:

Example
<html> <head> <style type="text/css"> p > i:first-child { font-weight:bold; } </style> </head> <body> <p>I am a <i>strong</i> man. I am a <i>strong</i> man.</p> <p>I am a <i>strong</i> man. I am a <i>strong</i> man.</p> </body> </html>
Try it yourself

Match all <i> elements in all first child <p> elements

In the following example, the selector matches all <i> elements in <p> elements that are the first child of another element:

Example
<html> <head> <style type="text/css"> p:first-child i { color:blue; } </style> </head> <body> <p>I am a <i>strong</i> man. I am a <i>strong</i> man.</p> <p>I am a <i>strong</i> man. I am a <i>strong</i> man.</p> </body> </html>
Try it yourself

CSS - The :lang Pseudo-class

The :lang pseudo-class allows you to define special rules for different languages. Note: Internet Explorer 8 (and higher) supports the :lang pseudo-class if a <!DOCTYPE> is specified. In the example below, the :lang class defines the quotation marks for q elements with lang="no":

Example
<html> <head> <style type="text/css"> q:lang(no) {quotes: "~" "~";} </style>

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp

Page 2 / 3

</head> <body> <p>Some text <q lang="no">A quote in a paragraph</q> Some text.</p> </body> </html>
Try it yourself

More Examples
Add different styles to hyperlinks This example demonstrates how to add other styles to hyperlinks. Use of :focus This example demonstrates how to use the :focus pseudo-class.

The "first-line" pseudo-element is used to add a special style to the first line of a text. In the following example the browser formats the first line of text in a p element according to the style in the "first-line" pseudo-element (where the browser breaks the line, depends on the size of the browser window):

Navigation Bars
Having easy-to-use navigation is important for any web site. With CSS you can transform boring HTML menus into good-looking navigation bars.

Navigation Bar = List of Links

A navigation bar needs standard HTML as a base. In our examples we will build the navigation bar from a standard HTML list. A navigation bar is basically a list of links, so using the <ul> and <li> elements makes perfect sense:

Now let's remove the bullets and the margins and padding from the list:

Example
ul { list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; }
Try it yourself

Example explained:
l l

list-style-type:none - Removes the bullets. A navigation bar does not need list markers Setting margins and padding to 0 to remove browser default settings

The code in the example above is the standard code used in both vertical, and horizontal navigation bars.

Vertical Navigation Bar

To build a vertical navigation bar we only need to style the <a> elements, in addition to the code above:

Example
a { display:block; width:60px;

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_navbar.asp

Page 1 / 3

}
Try it yourself

Example explained:
l l

display:block - Displaying the links as block elements makes the whole link area clickable (not just the text), and it allows us to specify the width width:60px - Block elements take up the full width available by default. We want to specify a 60 px width

Tip: Also take a look at our fully styled vertical navigation bar example. Note: Always specify the width for <a> elements in a vertical navigation bar. If you omit the width, IE6 can produce unexpected results.

Horizontal Navigation Bar

There are two ways to create a horizontal navigation bar. Using inline or floating list items. Both methods work fine, but if you want the links to be the same size, you have to use the floating method.

Inline List Items

One way to build a horizontal navigation bar is to specify the <li> elements as inline, in addition to the "standard" code above:

Example
li { display:inline; }
Try it yourself

Example explained:
l

display:inline; - By default, <li> elements are block elements. Here, we remove the line breaks before and after each list item, to display them on one line

Tip: Also take a look at our fully styled horizontal navigation bar example.

Floating List Items

In the example above the links have different widths. For all the links to have an equal width, float the <li> elements and specify a width for the <a> elements:

Example
li { float:left; } a { display:block; width:60px; }
Try it yourself

Example explained: float:left - use float to get block elements to slide next to each other display:block - Displaying the links as block elements makes the whole link area clickable (not just the text), and it allows us to specify the width l width:60px - Since block elements take up the full width available, they cannot float next to each other. We specify the width of the links to 60px
l l

Tip: Also take a look at our fully styled horizontal navigation bar example.

Example 1 - Creating a Transparent Image

First we will show you how to create a transparent image with CSS.

CSS References
CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Reference Reference A to Z Reference Aural Web Safe Fonts Units Colors Colorvalues Colornames

Look at the following source code:

<img src="klematis.jpg" width="150" height="113" alt="klematis" style="opacity:0.4;filter:alpha(opacity=40)" />

Firefox uses the property opacity:x for transparency, while IE uses filter:alpha(opacity=x). Tip: The CSS3 syntax for transparency is opacity:x. In Firefox (opacity:x) x can be a value from 0.0 - 1.0. A lower value makes the element more transparent. In IE (filter:alpha(opacity=x)) x can be a value from 0 - 100. A lower value makes the element more transparent.

Example 2 - Image Transparency - Mouseover Effect

Mouse over the images:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_transparency.asp

Page 1 / 3

The source code looks like this:

We see that the first line of the source code is similar to the source code in Example 1. In addition, we have added an onmouseover attribute and an onmouseout attribute. The onmouseover attribute defines what will happen when the mouse pointer moves over the image. In this case we want the image to NOT be transparent when we move the mouse pointer over it. The syntax for this in Firefox is: this.style.opacity=1 and the syntax in IE is: this.filters.alpha.opacity=100. When the mouse pointer moves away from the image, we want the image to be transparent again. This is done in the onmouseout attribute.

Example 3 - Text in Transparent Box

This is some text that is placed in the transparent box. This is some text that is placed in the transparent box. This is some text that is placed in the transparent box. This is some text that is placed in the transparent box. This is some text that is placed in the transparent box.

The source code looks like this:

<html> <head> <style type="text/css"> div.background { width:500px; height:250px; background:url(klematis.jpg) repeat; border:2px solid black; } div.transbox { width:400px; height:180px; margin:30px 50px; background-color:#ffffff; border:1px solid black; /* for IE */ filter:alpha(opacity=60); /* CSS3 standard */ opacity:0.6; } div.transbox p { margin:30px 40px; font-weight:bold; color:#000000; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="background"> <div class="transbox"> <p>This is some text that This is some text that is This is some text that is This is some text that is This is some text that is </p> </div> </div>

is placed placed in placed in placed in placed in

in the transparent box. the transparent box. the transparent box. the transparent box. the transparent box.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_transparency.asp

Page 2 / 3

</body> </html>

First, we create a div element (class="background") with a fixed height and width, a background image, and a border. Then we create a smaller div (class="transbox") inside the first div element. This div also have a fixed width, a background image, and a border. In addition we make this div transparent. Inside the transparent div, we add some text inside a p element.

Internet Explorer Behaviors

What is it? Internet Explorer 5 introduced behaviors. Behaviors are a way to add behaviors to HTML elements with the use of CSS styles. Why avoid it? The behavior attribute is only supported by Internet Explorer. What to use instead? Use JavaScript and the HTML DOM instead.

Image Sprites
An image sprite is a collection of images put into a single image. A web page with many images can take a long time to load and generates multiple server requests. Using image sprites will reduce the number of server requests and save bandwidth.

Image Sprites - Simple Example

Instead of using three separate images, we use this single image ("img_navsprites.gif"):

With CSS, we can show just the part of the image we need. In the following example the CSS specifies which part of the "img_navsprites.gif" image to show:

CSS References
CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS CSS Reference Reference A to Z Reference Aural Web Safe Fonts Units Colors Colorvalues Colornames Example explained: <img class="home" src="img_trans.gif" /> - Only defines a small transparent image because the src attribute cannot be empty. The displayed image will be the background image we specify in CSS l width:46px;height:44px; - Defines the portion of the image we want to use l background:url(img_navsprites.gif) 0 0; - Defines the background image and its position (left 0px, top 0px)
l

This is the easiest way to use image sprites, now we want to expand it by using links and hover effects.

Image Sprites - Create a Navigation List

We want to use the sprite image ("img_navsprites.gif") to create a navigation list. We will use an HTML list, because it can be a link and also supports a background image:

Example
#navlist{position:relative;} #navlist li{margin:0;padding:0;list-style:none;position:absolute;top:0;} #navlist li, #navlist a{height:44px;display:block;} #home{left:0px;width:46px;} #home{background:url('img_navsprites.gif') 0 0;} #prev{left:63px;width:43px;} #prev{background:url('img_navsprites.gif') -47px 0;} #next{left:129px;width:43px;} #next{background:url('img_navsprites.gif') -91px 0;}

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_sprites.asp

Page 1 / 3

Try it yourself

Example explained: #navlist{position:relative;} - position is set to relative to allow absolute positioning inside it #navlist li{margin:0;padding:0;list-style:none;position:absolute;top:0;} - margin and padding is set to 0, list-style is removed, and all list items are absolute positioned l #navlist li, #navlist a{height:44px;display:block;} - the height of all the images are 44px
l l

Now start to position and style for each specific part:

l l l l l l

#home{left:0px;width:46px;} - Positioned all the way to the left, and the width of the image is 46px #home{background:url(img_navsprites.gif) 0 0;} - Defines the background image and its position (left 0px, top 0px) #prev{left:63px;width:43px;} - Positioned 63px to the right (#home width 46px + some extra space between items), and the width is 43px. #prev{background:url('img_navsprites.gif') -47px 0;} - Defines the background image 47px to the right (#home width 46px + 1px line divider) #next{left:129px;width:43px;}- Positioned 129px to the right (start of #prev is 63px + #prev width 43px + extra space), and the width is 43px. #next{background:url('img_navsprites.gif') no-repeat -91px 0;} - Defines the background image 91px to the right (#home width 46px + 1px line divider + #prev width 43px + 1px line divider )

Image Sprites - Hover Effect

Now we want to add a hover effect to our navigation list. Our new image ("img_navsprites_hover.gif") contains three navigation images and three images to use for hover effects:

Because this is one single image, and not six separate files, there will be no loading delay when a user hovers over the image. We only add three lines of code to add the hover effect:

Example
#home a:hover{background: url('img_navsprites_hover.gif') 0 -45px;} #prev a:hover{background: url('img_navsprites_hover.gif') -47px -45px;} #next a:hover{background: url('img_navsprites_hover.gif') -91px -45px;}
Try it yourself

Example explained:
l l

Since the list item contains a link, we can use the :hover pseudo-class #home a:hover{background: transparent url(img_navsprites_hover.gif) 0 -45px;} - For all threehoverimageswespecifythesamebackgroundposition, only 45px further down

Media Types allow you to specify how documents will be presented in different media. The document can be displayed differently on the screen, on the paper, with anauralbrowser,etc.

Media Types
Some CSS properties are only designed for a certain media. For example the "voice-family" property is designed for aural user agents. Some other properties can be used for different media types. For example, the "font-size" property can be used for both screen and print media, but perhaps with different values. A document usually needs a larger font-size on a screen than on paper, and sans-serif fonts are easier to read on the screen, while serif fonts are easier to read on paper.

The @media Rule

The @media rule allows different style rules for different media in the same style sheet.

The style in the example below tells the browser to display a 14 pixels Verdana font on the screen. But if the page is printed, it will be in a 10 pixels Times font. Notice that the font-weight is set to bold, both on screen and on paper:

Style HTML Elements With Specific Attributes

It is possible to style HTML elements that have specific attributes, not just class and id. Note: Internet Explorer 7 (and higher) supports attribute selectors only if a !DOCTYPE is specified. Attribute selection is NOT supported in IE6 and lower.

Aural Style Sheets

Aural style sheets use a combination of speech synthesis and sound effects to make the user listen to information, instead of reading information. Aural presentation can be used:

The aural presentation converts the document to plain text and feed this to a screen reader (a program that reads all the characters on the screen). An example of an Aural style sheet:

h1,h2,h3,h4 { voice-family:male; richness:80; cue-before:url("beep.au") }

The example above will make the speech synthesizer play a sound, then speak the headers in a very rich male voice.

Commonly Used Font Combinations

The font-family property should hold several font names as a "fallback" system, to ensure maximum compatibility between browsers/operating systems. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font. Start with the font you want, and end with a generic family, to let the browser pick a similar font in the generic family, if no other fonts are available:

Color Values
CSS colors are defined using a hexadecimal (hex) notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (hex 00). The highest value is 255 (hex FF). Hex values are written as 3 double digit numbers, starting with a # sign.

16 Million Different Colors

The combination of Red, Green and Blue values from 0 to 255 gives a total of more than 16 million different colors to play with (256 x 256 x 256). Most modern monitors are capable of displaying at least 16384 different colors. If you look at the color table below, you will see the result of varying the red light from 0 to 255, while keeping the green and blue light at zero. To see a full list of color mixes when the red light varies from 0 to 255, click on one of the hex or rgb values below.

Web Safe Colors?

Some years ago, when computers supported max 256 different colors, a list of 216 "Web Safe Colors" was suggested as a Web standard, reserving 40 fixed system colors. This is not important now, since most computers can display millions of different colors, but the choice is left to you. The 216 cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette: 000000 003300 006600 009900 00CC00 00FF00 330000 333300 336600 339900 33CC00 33FF00 660000 663300 666600 669900 66CC00 66FF00 990000 993300 996600 999900 99CC00 99FF00 CC0000 CC3300 CC6600 CC9900 CCCC00 CCFF00 FF0000 FF3300 FF6600 FF9900 FFCC00 FFFF00 000033 003333 006633 009933 00CC33 00FF33 330033 333333 336633 339933 33CC33 33FF33 660033 663333 666633 669933 66CC33 66FF33 990033 993333 996633 999933 99CC33 99FF33 CC0033 CC3333 CC6633 CC9933 CCCC33 CCFF33 FF0033 FF3333 FF6633 FF9933 FFCC33 FFFF33 000066 003366 006666 009966 00CC66 00FF66 330066 333366 336666 339966 33CC66 33FF66 660066 663366 666666 669966 66CC66 66FF66 990066 993366 996666 999966 99CC66 99FF66 CC0066 CC3366 CC6666 CC9966 CCCC66 CCFF66 FF0066 FF3366 FF6666 FF9966 FFCC66 FFFF66 000099 003399 006699 009999 00CC99 00FF99 330099 333399 336699 339999 33CC99 33FF99 660099 663399 666699 669999 66CC99 66FF99 990099 993399 996699 999999 99CC99 99FF99 CC0099 CC3399 CC6699 CC9999 CCCC99 CCFF99 FF0099 FF3399 FF6699 FF9999 FFCC99 FFFF99 0000CC 0033CC 0066CC 0099CC 00CCCC 00FFCC 3300CC 3333CC 3366CC 3399CC 33CCCC 33FFCC 6600CC 6633CC 6666CC 6699CC 66CCCC 66FFCC 9900CC 9933CC 9966CC 9999CC 99CCCC 99FFCC CC00CC CC33CC CC66CC CC99CC CCCCCC CCFFCC FF00CC FF33CC FF66CC FF99CC FFCCCC FFFFCC 0000FF 0033FF 0066FF 0099FF 00CCFF 00FFFF 3300FF 3333FF 3366FF 3399FF 33CCFF 33FFFF 6600FF 6633FF 6666FF 6699FF 66CCFF 66FFFF 9900FF 9933FF 9966FF 9999FF 99CCFF 99FFFF CC00FF CC33FF CC66FF CC99FF CCCCFF CCFFFF FF00FF FF33FF FF66FF FF99FF FFCCFF FFFFFF
