CSS question

tony

ok i have a few question
im creating a site as you may have seen in the review section,

what i want is on my login script on my page, i want the text to be in bold and arial, and the actual box to have a different colour background

Arestia

.form_login {font-family:arial; font-weight:bold; background:#FFFFFF;

and your form would be

<input type=text name=login class=form_login>

ok this is pretty basic, if u need any other formating info (border, fontcolor, etc.) just post it.

yea that would be good, how do i make it so it just looks like a rectangel, not 3d with a black border?

Arestia

f_main {font-family:arial; font-size:11px; background:#FFFFFF; border: 1 solid #5F87B3; color: #3C5D87;}

syntax as follows

(font name, font size, background of box, border size/color, font color)

tony

youve lost me now :-P
is it not just something like

border: 1 solid #5F87B3; in .form_login in the css?

Arestia

yeah just add it to your css, the syntax stuff i listed was for all the properties that you could edit.

TopStyle is a great CSS program to work with if you are interesting in going that direction with CSS.

tony

do you have a website where i can get it from? how much does it cost?

SEbasic

Do it by hand - So much easier...

summoner49

how is it easier? I have never had an error, and a few times had to enter it in by hand, but not many...

There is a built in preview just below your work, so you see exactly how its gonna turn out... I rather like it...

um, I just searched downloads.com for TopStyle and got mine (mines a demo) But I think there is a free version there too.

http://www.bradsoft.com/index.asp thats where you can get it from
i wouldnt mind but last night i worked out how you can get certain text to be formatted by whatever part of the css you want it to belieng to (im sure theres a better way to explain that) with just 1 or 2 clicks of a button but ill have a look at that program later on

thanks

CSS is so easy. It takes minutes to learn and seconds to type out. lol
Who needs a program to do it?

tony

i wouldnt be ablt to make a full site out of it, i think ill be using tables for a while yet, but over time i have used more and more css, originally i used css just for fonts, and links, then i used it for the background colour then for scrollbars and now im working on using it for things like links and then navigation links and in forms, i suppose eventually ill get round to using more css but for the time being tables are really easy to use for layouts

CannonBallGuy

Css and Divs are EASIER for layouts... and you shouldn't use tables anyway.

SEbasic

Yeah - CBG is right.

I haven't got a clue how to build whole sites with tables by hand...

CSS all the way!!!

better for the internet too (Accessibility)

same, I do all of my websites from scratch. Start with a blank page and load er' up. PHP, HTML, and CSS are the 3 main scripting languages i use to make diverse websites, some javascript too but not as much, because its getting outdated.

kink
