Back to CSS1 Reference


Here are two examples - purely to demonstrate what CSS1 can do for HTML. (You'll rue the day you got into stylesheets...) These work with Internet Explorer 5.5. YMMV.

  1. Example 1

    Filename: something.css
          BODY {
            background: 
                navy
                url(res://membg.dll/membg.gif) no-repeat fixed
                100% 100%;
            border: 12pt outset #0000C0;
            color: silver;
            font:
                normal normal normal medium
                120% "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;
            height: 480px;
            letter-spacing: 120%;
            margin: 6ex;
            padding: 5%;
            text-align: justify;
            text-decoration: overline;
            text-indent: 24pt;
            width: 640px;
            word-spacing: 120%
          }
          H1 {
            background: teal;
            border: 3pt double #0000C0;
            color: aqua;
          }
          P {
            background: #808080;
            border: 2pt dashed #C0C0C0;
            color: navy;
          }
          DIV {
            padding: 5%;
          }
          DIV P {
            background: none;
            border: none;
            color: silver;
          }
          DIV.1 {
            background: maroon;
            border: 12pt dashed red;
            clear: none;
            color: white;
            float: left;
            width: 30%
          }
          DIV.2 {
            background: olive;
            border: 12pt dashed yellow;
            clear: none;
            color: white;
            float: right;
            width: 30%
          }

For the record, I have to admit that I use Example 2 as IE5's home page, just to wake me up...
