Notes on Using CSS Visual Rules

1. Fonts

CSS allows you to style text by changing the font type, size, and style.

 Properties:
o font-family: Sets the type of font (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman).
o font-size: Adjusts the size of the text (e.g., 16px, 1em).
o font-style: Makes text italic or normal.
o font-weight: Controls the boldness (e.g., normal, bold).

Example:

h1 {

font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 24px;

font-weight: bold;

font-style: italic;

2. Text

CSS text properties let you style and align text.

 Properties:
o text-align: Aligns text (e.g., left, center, right).
o text-transform: Changes the case (e.g., uppercase, lowercase, capitalize).
o line-height: Adjusts spacing between lines.
o letter-spacing: Changes spacing between letters.

Example:

p{

text-align: justify;

text-transform: uppercase;

letter-spacing: 2px;
}

3. Colors and Background Colors

CSS allows you to style text and backgrounds using colors.

 Properties:
o color: Changes the text color.
o background-color: Changes the background color.
o Colors can be defined using names, hex codes, RGB, or HSL values.

Example:

body {

color: #333333;

background-color: #f0f0f0;

4. Opacity

CSS opacity makes an element see-through or transparent.

 Property:
o opacity: Ranges from 0 (completely invisible) to 1 (fully visible).

Example:

div {

opacity: 0.5; /* 50% transparent */

5. Background Image

CSS can apply images as backgrounds for elements.

 Properties:
o background-image: Sets the image (e.g., url('image.jpg')).
o background-size: Adjusts how the image fits (e.g., cover, contain).
o background-repeat: Repeats the image (e.g., no-repeat, repeat).
o background-position: Sets the position (e.g., center, top).
Example:

div {
background-image: url('background.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}

USE CSS Box Model

The CSS Box Model is a fundamental concept in web design. Every element on a webpage is
treated as a box with the following parts:
Content, Padding, Border, and Margin.

1. Height and Width

 Height: Specifies the vertical size of an element.


 Width: Specifies the horizontal size of an element.
 Can be defined using pixels (px), percentages (%), ems, or other units.

Example:

div {

width: 200px;

height: 100px;

background-color: lightblue;

2. Borders

 A border is the line surrounding the content and padding.


 You can style borders using:
o border-width: Thickness of the border.
o border-style: Type of border (e.g., solid, dashed, dotted).
o border-color: Color of the border.

Example:

div {

border: 2px solid black;

3. Border Radius

 Border-radius makes the corners of an element rounded.


 The value can be in pixels (px) or percentages (%).

Example:

div {

border: 2px solid black;

border-radius: 10px;

4. Padding

 Padding is the space between the content and the border.


 Each side (top, right, bottom, left) can have its own value.

Example:

div {

padding: 20px; /* Adds space inside the box */

5. Margin

 Margin is the space between an element and other elements.


 Like padding, each side (top, right, bottom, left) can have a different value.
Example:

div {

margin: 10px; /* Adds space outside the box */

6. Visibility

 Visibility determines whether an element is visible or hidden.


 Common values:
o visible: The element is shown.
o hidden: The element is hidden but still takes up space.
o collapse: Used with table elements to hide rows or columns.

Example:

div {

visibility: hidden; /* Hides the element */

7. Auto

 The auto keyword lets the browser calculate a value automatically.


 Often used for margins to center elements horizontally.

Example:

div {

margin: 0 auto; /* Centers the box horizontally */

width: 50%;
