1. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Bartosz Sakowicz

2. CSS syntax Basic CSS syntax: selector { property:value } E.g.: P {font-family: Arial} H1 {font-size: 20pt} hr {color: sienna} p {margin-left: 20px} body {background-image: url("images/back40.gif")}

3. CSS syntax(2) To separate properties and their values from other properties, you use semicolon: Red font 20pt, bolded, on the green background To define the same style for many elements, separate them using comma: H1, H2, H3 {font-family:Helvetica; color:yellow}

4. Inserting styles Inline style Some text Internal style <!-- body {margin-left: 2cm; margin-right: 2cm} P {font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-weight: normal} -->

5. Inserting styles(2) External style sheet: It is possible (and quite usual) to use multiple style sheets on the same page.

6. Document tree html head body titlepformimg input selecttextarea Document tree Child Descendant Parent Ascendant

7. Descendant selector ul ul li {color:green} Second list will be green. H1 H2 B {color: blue}

8. Child and sibling selectors Child selector P>U {color: green} Nested will be green Sibling selector H1 + P{margin-left: +30 mm) If and has common parent ….

9. Attributes selectors General syntax: element [atrribute relation value] {style definition } e.g.: P [align=right] {color: blue} Simple attribute selector: H3 [title] {color: #000000 } [title] {color: #000000 }

10. Attributes selectors(2) Attribute selector with defined value General syntax: element [attribute="value"] { style definition } OR: [attribute="value"] { style definition } OR: [attribute~="value"] {style definition } To match the criteria, the „value” can be only a substring of the real value.

11. Classes *.class1 {font-family:Arial} Example usage: Some text in Arial Different styles for the same tag: P {font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt} P.notice {font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold} P.exclamation {font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; color: red} P.adds {font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt}

12. Question What is the difference between following:.menu li { properties } li.menu { properties } li,.menu { properties } li.menu { properties }

13. ID selector #[label ID] {style definition} e.g.: H1#title {color: red} Example usage: Some text

14. Hyperlinks special selectors (pseudo classes) Hyperlink typeExample definition DefaultA:link {color:blue; background: red} VisitedA:visited {color:yellow} Hovered onto linkA:hover {background:yellow; color:red} ActiveA:active {background:blue; color:red}

15. Paragraph’s special selectors (pseudo elements) Selector first-line Ephasising first line of the paragraph: P:first-line {text-transform: uppercase} Selector first-letter Ephasising first letter of the paragraph: P:first-letter { font-size: 300%; color:blue }

16. Inheritance CSS inheritance is based on the Parent-Child model: each Child element inherits all of his Parent element's styles. Attention: the child element will inherit all the parent element's properties only if these properties are inheritable. Inheritance does not work on all CSS properties (margin, padding and other block properties). Some text in Arial Some text in Courier Some text in Arial

17. Cascading If some properties have been set for the same selector in different style sheets, the values will be inherited from the more specific style sheet. 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

18. Fonts Font families, eg.: Some text Font styles, eg.: Some text Available keywords: italic, obligue.

22. Text Letter spacing, eg.: Some text. Text decoration, eg.: Hyperlink not underlined. Available keywords: underline,overline,line-through.

It is possible also to use measerments units or percentages (counted from the left top corner of the area): background-position: 2cm 3cm background-position: 30% 50%

30. Toolbars Attribute nameDescription Scrollbar-Base-Color? Scrollbar-Face-Color? Scrollbar-Arrow-Color? Scrollbar-Highlight-Color? Scrollbar-Shadow-Color? Scrollbar-Dark-Shadow- Color ? Scrollbar-3dLight-Color?
