C.S.S. for Text

C.S.S.  For Text

C.S.S. for text means how to design our text, what will be the color of text ,what will be the font , what will be the size of text.

                                             

                                                                  Text color

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

It can be done as

            body {
    color: blue;
          }

         h1 {
           color: #00ff00;
                }

The color can be specified by three ways 

With CSS, a color is most often specified by:

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

                                                  

                                  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).
            h1 {
    text-align: center;
}

p.date {
    text-align: right;
}

p.main {
    text-align: justify;
}
                                            

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:
   a {
    text-decoration: none;
}


It can also be used to decorate text:-



h1 {
    text-decoration: overline;
}

h2 {
    text-decoration: line-through;
}

h3 {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Text Transformation

The text-transform property is used to specify uppercase and lowercase letters in a text.
It can be used to turn everything into uppercase or lowercase letters, or capitalize the first letter of each word.


p.uppercase {
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

p.lowercase {
    text-transform: lowercase;
}

p.capitalize {
    text-transform: capitalize;
}

Text Indentation

The text-indent property is used to specify the indentation of the first line of a text.
It can be done as 

p {
    text-indent: 50px;
}

CSS Background

C.S.S. Background

This post is all about the background of the webpages, and how we can use C.S.S. to make an attractive background.

But before implementing C.S.S.  for your background make your that the color of background or image that is used by you as background does not make your text unreadable, the text should be clear and grabs the attention of the viewer which is very important.

                                                               Background Color

The background-color property specifies the background color of an element.

The background color of a page is defined in the body selector by using the body selector you can select the whole body:-

body{

background-color: blue;

} 

                                                    Using Image as Background

Using Image as background can increase the attractiveness of the webpage. 

By default, the image is repeated so it covers the entire element.

Default means that the way browser interpret it, different browser can interpret it differently,but in this case most of the browser repeat the image so it cover entire element.

  The background image for a page can be set like this:-

body {
    background-image: url("paper.gif");
}



You can also set your image position and you can also set repeat or no repeat.
It can be done as

body {
    background-image: url("img_tree.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: right top;
}
You can also use the selectors if you want to give background color to specific text, line, paragraph.

CSS Selectors

---

                            C. S. S. Selectors

CSS selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML elements.

CSS selectors are used to "find" (or select) HTML elements based on their id, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes and much more.

                          The element Selector

The element selector selects elements based on the element name.
You can select all <p> elements on a page like this: (all <p> elements will be center-aligned, with a red text color)
             p{
                     text-align:center;
                      color:red:
                    }

                                   The id Selector

The id selector uses the id attribute of an HTML tag to find the specific element.
An id should be unique within a page, so you should use the id selector when you want to find a single, unique element.
To find an element with a specific id, write a hash character, followed by the id of the element.
The style rule below will be applied to the HTML element with id="para1":
      #para1 {
    text-align: center;
    color: red;
        }
 NOTE:  DO NOT START ID WITH A NUMBER

                                The class Selector

The class selector finds elements with the specific class.
The class selector uses the HTML class attribute.
To find elements with a specific class, write a period character, followed by the name of the class:
In the example below, all HTML elements with class="center" will be center-aligned:
                   .center {
         text-align: center;
        color: red;
    }

CSS Basics

CSS Basics

The basic need of the CSS  are:-

1.Previous knowledge of HTML.

2.A Web browser to view your  your web page.

3.A text editor ex notepad which come with windows . Sublime , Web Matrix, Dreamweaver are also text editor they are recommended because they have some built in codes, suggestions which are used regularly by coders. . 

HTML was never intended to contain tags for formatting a document basically it is used for writing the content and to make content attractive we use CSS.

HTML was intended to define the content of a document, like:

<h1>Heading of the page</h1>

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

When tags like <font>, and color attributes were added to the HTML 3.2 specification, it started a nightmare for web developers. Development of large web sites, where fonts and color information were added to every single page, became a long and expensive process.It takes lot of time and energy to do that
to solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) created CSS.

In HTML 4.0, all formatting could be removed from the HTML document, and stored in a separate CSS file.

All browsers support CSS today.

                                                         How CSS Is Used

 

CSS is used in three ways which are:-

1. Inline CSS (styling is done in same line)
2. Internal CSS|(styling is done on the same page)
3. External CSS(styling is done in different page saved as .css extension) 

We can use CSS only by three ways which are mentioned above.

                                                               Example of Inline CSS 

 <p style="font-weight : bold;"> This text will be bold</p>

this is an example of the Inline CSS.

                                                              Example of Internal CSS

To give  you a proper understanding of Internal CSS I have to write the full HTML code .

<html>

<head>

<title>CSS Basics</title>

<style  type="text/css">

div{

font-weight:bold;

}

span{

font-style: italic;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<div>This will show the use of the Internal CSS</div>

this will show the use of <span>Internal CSS</span>

</body>

</html>

                                                          External CSS

To use external CSS we have to make a file in which all code of  CSS is written there.

Then this file should be saved with extension of  .css.

Then we have to give reference to our .css file it should be done as

<rel="stylesheet"type="text/css href="name of the .css file>

This is done to connect HTML page with CSS page without it styling that we have done in our page will not change anything on the HTML page.
