What is CSS?
CSS stands for cascading style sheets.
Cascading style sheets are used to change properties like font face, size, font in tables,
scrollbar color, link color and hover color, and other style attributes on Web sites,
without having to use long HTML codes.

EXAMPLE OF COMMON USE CSS:
Remember not to remove any colons or semicolons, the code will not work without them. Your finished style sheet will be placed between the tag:

Begin style sheet:

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

A:link
{ text-decoration: value; [underline, overline, underline overline, line-through, blink, none] color:#000000; }
A:visited
{ text-decoration: value; [underline, overline, underline overline, line-through, blink, none] color:#000000; }
A:active
{ text-decoration: value; [underline, overline, underline overline, line-through, blink, none] color:#000000; }
A:hover
{ text-decoration: value; [underline, overline, underline overline, line-through, blink, none] color:#000000;

background-image: url(yourimage.gif);
background-color: #000000;

(Warning: the following cursor attribute is for those who use IE only!)

cursor: value; [default, auto, wait, crosshair, hand, help, text, move, s-resize, e-resize, w-resize, ne-resize, nw-resize, se-resize, sw-resize]
cursor: url('yourdomain.com/cursor.ani');}

h1 {font-family: value; [your font name for headers (arial, verdana, etc.)]
color: value; [your font color (#000000)] }

p {font-family: value; [your font name for paragraphs (arial, verdana, etc.)]
color: value; [your font color (#000000)] }

body
{ background: #000000;
background-image: url(value); [url of background image to be used, i.e. background.gif]
background-repeat: value; [repeat, no-repeat, repeat-x, repeat-y]
background-position: valueI valueII; [valueI: top, center, bottom, percentage, pixel number]
[valueII: right, center, left, percentage, pixel number]
background-attachment: value; [scroll, fixed]

font-family: value; [your font name]
color: #000000 ;
letter-spacing: value; [any number value (3pt, 5pt)]
font-weight: value; [lighter, normal, bold, bolder, any number value (100, 500, 900)]
font-size: value; [xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large,
any number value (12 pt, 18 pt)]

direction:rtl; [this reverses the entire site so the scrollbar is on the left]

(Warning: the following scrollbar attribute is for those who use IE only!)

scrollbar-face-color : #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #000000;
scrollbar-track-color : #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #000000;

margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}

td
{ font-family: value; [your font name]
color: #000000;
padding-left: value; [2cm, 4cm etc.]
padding-right: value; [2cm]
padding-top: value; [2cm]
padding-bottom: value; [2cm]
padding: value; [2cm this is for all four sides]
padding: value value; [2cm, 4cm : two values for four sides, add numerical value] }

input, textarea
{ background: #000000 url(yourimage.gif);
font-family: value; [your font name]
color: #000000;
border-style: value; [dotted, dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset]
border-color: #000000;
border-width: valuepx; [numerical value, 5, 6, 8...] }

</style>

End style sheet

How do I make my own style sheet? You start your style sheet with this tag:

All of your attributes will go in between those two tags. For instance, if you wanted just a style sheet to remove the underline from your links, you would use this style sheet:

If you want a style sheet that also includes a background color, you would use this tag, substituting your own color # where you see bold text:
