Good Little Page About CSS

I have taken the content class from standard.css file and placed it in the head of this page to make the content area for this text. It was very easy to do. I removed background color and all text formatting so that you are now on what ever setting and font your brower is set to. You did set your browser font and size to your liking, didn't you? I set the text color to dark blue to match the other page.

What we have here is an invisible box without the use of tables. You can look at the source code and see how simple and easy this was to do. Very old browsers may not support css but that problem is fast disappearing. If you look at standard.css you will see that I have changed the margin-left and margin-top values. That is done to position the "content" on the screen.

You can do many things with a little code in the heading between style tags. Another page defines a text box that floats on the right side of the page.

There are some questions here about how the page is set up. I have set the width as 600px. Perhaps I should not have done that. The width can be left to the browser and probably should be. I may be a control freak. How far might the left margin be? The left margin is set to protect the shadow of the book.jpg used for the background. I made it look right to me. You can see that I have set text-aligh at justify. I love justified text. I still remember when I first had a word processor that justified text. You will want to play with the values in the style are and see what you can do. You may even want to set the font and the font size.
