CSS Basics

Different CSS Code to use in your websites

Most of the time when you are adding CSS into your code, you need to insert a style tag inside the head tag. Other parts of the CSS code will go in the body section.

Setting a Background Image for a webpage:


Types of Navigation Bars

Navigation Code for Horizontal Navigation Menu:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<style>

ul {

list-style-type: none;

margin: 0;

padding: 0;

width: 200px;

background-color: #f1f1f1;

}


li a {

display: block;

color: #000;

padding: 8px 16px;

text-decoration: none;

}


li a.active {

background-color: #4CAF50;

color: white;

}


li a:hover:not(.active) {

background-color: #555;

color: white;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>


<h2>Vertical Navigation Bar</h2>

<p>In this example, we create an "active" class with a green background color and a white text. The class is added to the "Home" link.</p>


<ul>

<li><a class="active" href="#home">Home</a></li>

<li><a href="#news">News</a></li>

<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>

<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>

</ul>


</body>

</html>

Note: The bold bits must exist in your webpage code!

Code for a Drop down Menu:


Creating an image gallery:

Making an image circular

Making an image have a polaroid effect:

Placing text into columns

Customizing the Icon displayed next to the Title

<link rel="icon" type="image/png"

href="http://image.flaticon.com/icons/png/512/11/11118.png" />


Place this code before the closing head tag. <replace text inside "" with the web address or file name and extention of the image you want to use. png files work the best.>
