In this tutorial I just started I am doing a block of links on the bottom of the page. Instead of doing 'A:Link{"

It is starting with ".Link1 A:link{" I fig the block will give me a different kind of looking link. But what is the dot before word link1 for? Is this what anchors it down at the bottom? This is a good tutorial for typing things out and getting to see exactly what the tags are actually creating. But it actually suxs when it comes to explaining things to newbies. When I get though all of it they will be receving an email from me with instructions on the proper way to wrtie for newbies.

Its the class so ".Link1 A:link{" you'd have

Code:

<a href="http://myurl" class="Link1">this is myurl</a>

Jack is correct, the Link1 stuff is an example of an 'inline style', CSS can be embedded into the page not just in stylesheets.

So you give a tag an id or a class and you can use this along with its DOM location and tag type to style it.

I'm not much of a css guru but I'd guess the . means its global, it does not hang off anything and the class is 'Link1' then normally theres a style in curly braces.

You can style multiple DOM elements at once, it looks like they are using link properties :-

and styling them at the same time with the same style.

 

thanks guys appreciate the help!
