Stylesheet Properties

Okay, this is for all you out there that know and love css. Please click on the link to see the list of css properties and their attributes. Be nice, it took me forever to type up, so if you want to borrow it, please give me credit. The glossary was taken out of Special Edition: Using HTML and XHTML by Molly E. Holzschlag. For the matter, I'm really not going into detail about css because I'm assuming you already know how to use it.

CSS PROPERTIES AND ATTRIBUTES LIST

The Basics

CSS is actually called Cascading Style Sheets in its real form. CSS is used to make external style sheets so you don't have to stick all that style stuff in every file you make. Style sheets are recommended for anything you decide to do in presentation purposes like color, font face, etc...The basic construction of CSS is a selector, a pseudo class, a rule, and the property. Most of the time the pseudo class and the rule isn't needed so it's just the selector and the property. An example of a selector and a property is BODY {color:blue}. Those braces are necessary to make the CSS function correctly so don't think about using parentheses or brackets. Parentheses are used however to encase something within the braces. If there is a need for a pseudo class, it is inserted after the selector and a colon, then followed by a space before the property: P:first-line {color:red} All you really need to know is some basic properties and you've got it down. Click on the link above to access those properties. Please do not harass me over the spelling errors, it took forever to type. To connect style sheets to your site, use the following link element and its command. Change the css file name to whatever you call yours.
