Newbie on CSS with questions

Babybutch · 12-23-2006

Okay really newbie on CSS here. I'm just about to learn it today so be gentle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to practice making a css website from scratch. But for now I'm just going to test the basic stuff. So far this is my code:

Quote:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test CSS</title>
<style type="type/css">
body {background-color: #97B1D0}
h1 {background-color: transparent}
</style>

</head>

<body>

<h1>LEARNING CSS</h1>
</body>
</html>

The website: Test CSS

Questions:

Quote:

body {background-color: #97B1D0}

1. The color for body background does not appear. I tried few colors but still didn't show up. Did I do something wrong?

Quote:

<h1>LEARNING CSS</h1>

2. I would like to change the color and the size of the text. Let say White for color and Small for font size. So how do I make the code?

Okay questions to be continued after I have managed to figure the first two.

Would be very much appreciated if anyone can help me out.

Css newbie,

Code:

<style type="text/css">
body {background-color:#000000;
  }

h1 {font-weight:700;
font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color:#FFFFFF;
  }
</style>

that would be your code, you have to take out the transparent, i highly doubt you dont need that.. when doing multiple styles for something, (referring to the h1) look how you add the { and then do whatever you want, making sure that you end it with ; and then start the new style but making sure your closing it with } was that understandable? I hope so. if not let me know..

Yes, got it mate. I understood with what you said. Very interesting, CSS that is. So far my brain still not explode yet.

Thanks mate.

I'm sure I have more questions later.

Thanks again for helping. Much appreciated.
