CSS - Encoding The Default Font In The <body> Tag...
Hi all,
I've created a simple page and managed to encode a default font in the "Body" code: Code: body { margin:10px 0px 0px 10px; font: bold 10px verdana, arial, sans-serif; } But I'm just wondering if there's any way to include a default font colour in there, too? I've tried putting in #fff, but it doesn't work and the font still comes out as black on a dark blue background. Similar TutorialsI would like to set my site so that any text not given a specific class id for CSS will appear as a certain font. can I do this, and if so, how? thanks. I have a style.css file included on all pages i want to sent default font and size, for all the text where i haven't already set something Hi I'm using a css file for the layout of my website. But I'd like to define the default font size but I can't! I mean the size of the font that's under no special style. I think it's something like: Code: .body { font-size: 10px; } Or similar (instead of 10px, small)... anybody knows exactly hoy can I do it? I have a group of buttons which when one is clicked its color changes and the others if any have been clicked revert back to the default color. Am I right in thinking the defualt html font color is black? In an attempt to make pages look readable across all browsers/screens I was wondering... Up until now I was using everything in pixels, but recently decided that % was a much better way to go. But then I was wondering, if I used 12px to determine the default font size for all my pages and then % to format everything under that, then perhaps that would be a better way to have control over how it looks on different screens...but I thought I read somewhere that there is a problem (not sure if it's Firefox & IE or just one of them) that doesn't allow for scalibility when using a base size in pixels..... Is this true? Hi All, I'm new to the forum. My website's Index page is losing all my body font and color settings, though layout is correct. All of the subfolders' index pages and other pages throughout my website remain unaffected. I've sanity checked it all, and it validates OK. I have an email in to the webhost for some input, but I hoped to get some advice from other CSS-ers who might be in the know. My website is: NickiGreenwood.com I am a romance author and sideline-web-design-junkie. Any help, advice, or even a point in the right direction would be a huge, huge help. Thanks, all. Nicki Greenwood - Romance Author Is it necessary to declare properties like : border-bottom:none; text-transform:none; My question is why would I declare them (above) ? Is it not assumed that unless I need something like text-transform:lowercase; I should not declare text-transform:none; ...this just add up more unnecessary lines of code. What are the default properties of selectors? if not declared would it be safe to asumme that those defaul to 0, none, etc depending of the selectors? tahnks Hey all, I'm developing an app for a client, and I've implemented quite a bit of it already, and it includes CSS. Code: <style> td { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } </style> As you all might know, this changes all <td> tags into this particular style. Is there a class that I can include that contains NO properties (default)? I'm not even sure if it's possible. I just don't want to go back and add class tags everywhere. I'm using an external style sheet and a Drupal site. I am pretty much of a CSS novice. No matter what I do, the default bullet is displaying. Sometimes, in the CSS stylesheet, I can have a graphic show up, but the regular bullet is showing as well. I want to make a separate bullet that I can use just on certain pages. It's on the home page of invisibleillnessdocfinder dot com I don't see anywhere to upload the style sheet to show the code. There is a template, so even though I'm putting "List-style=none" the default tiny bullet shows up. I'll be glad to email the stylesheet to anyone who can help. Thanks, Susan Hi, Not sure if this topic is ok if someone can nail this down here, but I have a question. How good or bad is it to set all the value to zero? Like Code: blockquote, body, dd, div, dt, fieldset, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, input, li, ol, p, pre, textarea, th, td, ul{ margin:0 0 0 0; padding:0 0 0 0; } in front of the rest of styles. What about the other tag's, how to zero them out? Or should I enter the CSS default value's? CSS 2 and CSS 2.1 are different with some default value's. How good is this for all browsers in this universe? First I want to call it resetting them to defaults, but thats not the right word I think. Each browser has his own start ( default ) values. And setting them to a defined startvalue is not really resetting, but thats just word nickpicking. Also what's more save Code: margin:0 0 0 0; padding:0 0 0 0; or Code: margin:0; padding:0; is it 100% sure that the latter one overrides all the margin-lefts:10px ( thinking about cascading )? Some comments? Hi, First post on here! ...I have a problem with the default margin in IE being 1px less than Firefox. I've stripped my CSS down to be as naked as possible! It's quite frustrating as I'm quite experienced with CSS, I guess the small silly things do things like this when you've not been CSS'n for a few months!

It seems to work for only the class defined in your css file first. Can someone shed some light on this? I have been going through the tutorials and forums learning CSS. Everything works and makes sense until I get to the lesson for setting up a div box. For some reason I am missing something here. None of the lessons or forums even address or talk about how to connect or input the external div CSS into the web page. They only show the external CSS code or internal CSS code. They never show what is required in the HTML to pull in the external div CSS. Even when I copy and paste the code from the different lessons I can not get a div box unless I put it in-line in the HTML code with a <style> tag, which defeats the concept of using an external CSS for the div box. How do I link an external CSS div.box to the default.htm web page? What coding is required in the external CSS and in the default.htm HTML to have the div.box brought into the web page? Does the div.box code have to have its own .css file to work? How do I get the external CSS code for the div input to the HTML? Thanks I am trying to display a footer below two absolute divs and whatever is the default. [absolute][default][absolute] [ FOOTER ] Any suggestions or tutorials? Whatever I try will put the footter below the default center and it will then apear under the two divs aligned absolute. Or if the center column is longer it will be below the divs. (Do I make any sense Hi all Is there a way to set a value, that has been overridden by a specific value before, to the browser's default value again? Code: div.specific { font-size: 10px; } div.specific div.browser_default { font-size: default; } Is there anything like that? Thanks for help, Josh hi.. i need to change the height of drop down box, if i change that using style means getting in firefox but not in IE.. IE taking some default height... need to avoid tht.. help me out guys.. its very urgent... pls... I was experimenting this weekend with some CSS 'page-sculpting', using small divs to make shapes, etc. I used FireFox as my testbed and of course everything went smoothly. I switched over to IE6 and saw that every div had a minimum height-it looked like 1em. I specified height and width on all <div>. Some used borders, some did not. An example would be: PHP Code: <div style="height:2px; width:3px; background:green" ></div> Has anyone else come across this or know of a fix? I haven't tried <span> or other tags (I will...just thought of that), tho I suspect they'll behave the same. Any help appreciated. NotGoddess Hi everyone, I was wondering what I would have to do to get an image to be above an in-line horizontal menu when it is is hovered upon. Here is my css so far, right now on hover I have it changing color with text-shadow. I would like to keep that along with the image above. I have seen some tutorials using about using spans but nothing worked. Thanks in advance! Code: .nav ul{list-style-type:none; margin:0 auto; padding:0; width:600px; height:50px; padding-left:500px; padding-top:100px} .nav li {display:inline; padding-right:15px } .nav a {text-decoration:none; color:white;} .nav a:hover {color: #0C0; text-shadow:2px 2px 2px white;} Hey everyone, I was trying to figure out what the default display properties for a div are. What I'm trying to figure it out for is because I want to be able to set up other elements to behave the same way. This way I don't have a zillion DIVs on my page. I could set it so that My header uses something like: Code: HTML <body> <h1 id="header">Header</h1> This way I could use CSS to cause it to span the full width of the page and behave the way I'm used to having things behave. I think it might just be a width:100% but I can't find anything on it. But if I remember correctly you have to set a DIV to display:block to be able to define a width. Hi All. I am getting an extra space in FireFox. The space is fixed when I disable the 'Browser Default Styles' in FireFox. IE7 shows it OK. http://holzgreen.com/gap/ any comment is appreciated. sukruB |
