Your First Style Sheet

Page 2
 

You may want to change the margins for the page also. How about changing the scrollbar color? This can be easily added:

body
{
 color: #2E2F4A;
 background-color: #FFFFFF;
 font-family: Arial, courier, serif;
 font-size: 10pt;
margin: 0px 0px;
scrollbar-base-color: #676AAD;
}

This will remove the margin from the page completely. The first number is for top and bottom and the second number is for right and left. I actually could have just put 0px once since it is the same for both, but listed both numbers in case you want different numbers for each. Now lets address links.

a:link, a:visited, a:active
{
color: #3B4071;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: transparent;
}
a:hover
{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
background-color: #D7D8E3;
}

You could separate the unvisited, visited, and active link if you wanted them to all be different. You would do this the same as shown with hover. The color assigns the color of the text. text-decoration can either be none or underline, depending on whether or not you want your links underlined. In the example the line shows up on mouse over or hover. The background-color changes the background of the link. See the links across the top of this page for an example.

Be sure to upload your style sheet. When you call it in the head section of the page, you may need to edit it's location. (i.e. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="style.css" /> assumes it's at the root.) That's it for this first tutorial. This alone, can be very helpful. Look for more tutorials soon on how to do more with your style sheet.
