How does it work?

Changing Properties of an HTML Element

<p>Paragraph text.</p>

HTML document says:

Changing Properties of an HTML Element

p { color: red; }

“selector” “property” “value”

CSS document says:

The Result:

Paragraph text.

Creating your own “class”

.myClass { color: green; }

“selector” “property” “value”

CSS document says:

<p class=“myClass”>

Paragraph text.

</p>

HTML document says:

Creating your own “class”

The Result:

Paragraph text.

What if we combine what we have so far?

.myClass { color: green; }

p { color: red; }CSS

HTML<p class=“myClass”>Paragraph text.</p>

<p>Paragraph text.</p>

The Result

Paragraph text.

Paragraph text.

Other Examples

<table class=“myClass”>

<img class=“myClass”>

<object class=“myClass”>

HTML document says:

Remember, we can control a LOT with CSS!

• Background images & colors

• Letter spacing

• Margins and padding

• Borders

• Lists

• Positioning
