CSS : TEXT COLOR

 Text Color

The color property is used to set the color of the text.

With CSS, a color is most often specified by:

• a HEX value - like "#ff0000"
• an RGB value - like "rgb(255,0,0)"
• a color name - like "red"

The default color for a page is defined in the body selector.

Example

body {color:blue;}
h1 {color:#00ff00;}
h2 {color:rgb(255,0,0);}

CSS : TEXT ALIGNMENT

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).

Example

h1 {text-align:center;}
p.date {text-align:right;}
p.main {text-align:justify;}

CSS : TEXT DECORATION

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:

Example

h1 {text-decoration:overline;}
h2 {text-decoration:line-through;}
h3 {text-decoration:underline;}
h4 {text-decoration:blink;}

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

CSS : list-SHORTAND PROPERTY

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");
}

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

• 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.

CSS : CROSSBROWSER SOLUTION

Crossbrowser Solution

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

Example

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

Example explained:

• 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)
• For all li in ul:
• 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

CSS : IMAGE as THE LIST ITEM MARKER

An Image as The List Item Marker

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

Example

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

The example above does not display equally in all browsers. IE and Opera will display the image-marker 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.

CSS : TABLE BORDERS

Table Borders

To specify table borders in CSS, use the border property.

The example below specifies a black border for table, th, and td elements:

Example

table, th, td
{
border: 1px solid black;
}

Notice that the table in the example above has double borders. This is because both the table and the th/td elements have separate borders.

To display a single border for the table, use the border-collapse property.
