/*===== Our second external CSS stylesheet! by: Sharon Tuttle last modified: 2016-02-15 =====*/ /*===== in general: color property refers to foreground or text color background-color property refers to an element's background color (but beware -- some browser's won't let you style all form controls...) =====*/ /*--- style textfields to have blue text and a beige-ish background ---*/ input[type="text"] { color: blue; background-color: #ffffdc; } /*--- style JUST the option element with attribute value="JF" to have red text NOTE: this works in Firefox but not Chrome on Mac OS X... ---*/ option[value="JF"] { color: red; } /*===== font properties! * see table 3.4, p. 59 * here are a few: * font-family - font name to use * e.g., serif "Courier New" "Verdana" "Calibri" "Wingdings" * you can give a comma-separated list, and it will try to find and use these in order; * these 5 "logical" font families are supposed to be guaranteed to be mapped to a font on all browsers: cursive fantasy monospace sans-serif serif * GOOD STYLE: start with the font-family you really want, then maybe options that are widely available, end with a generic font-family * font-size - size of text to display * SIZES!! p. 61 * SEVERAL allowed units pt - points (72 points/inch) px - pixels (1 dot on screen) : italic; } /*===== CSS BOX MODEL * see p. 4.5 - CSS Box Model diagram! * a set of rules collectively known as the CSS Box Model describes the rectangular regions occupied by HTML elements * PADDING is space between the actual element's content area and its border * can have top, bottom, left, and right padding * elements can have top, bottom, left, and right BORDERS * MARGIN is space between an element's border and other content * can have top, bottom, left, and right margins =====*/ /*===== Borders * each element CAN have this * border-left, border-right, border-top, border-bottom * borders have a THICKNESS (a given size, or thin medium or thick) * and a STYLE include: none, hidden, dotted, dashed, double, groove, inset, solid, and more... * and a color * can set each side's border properties individually or as a group (those you don't set get the default) =====*/ /*--- style h1 elements to have: * .5em-wide left margin, outside the left border * center-align the text within the h1 element * .5em-wide top, bottom, left, and right padding within the border * .1em-wide top, bottom, left, and right border, BUT then OVERRIDE that, giving * a left-border that is thick, dotted, and purplish-red, * and a double-line bottom-border (notice that this resets its default color) ---*/ h1 { margin-left: 0.5em; text-align: center; padding: .5em; border: .1em solid red; border-left: thick dotted #cc0088; border-bottom: double; }
