N | From our Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Topic. Code Snippet of the Month The following code snippet allows you to import a cascading style sheet (CSS) into another CSS file. The main benefit is this allows you to organize your styles and to create common CSS files. @import url('/style_core.css'); From our Artistic (design, layout, etc.) Topic Add [d_rop]-down menus to your website. DHTML Menu Builder is the tool of choice for building Javascript menus for our Prestwood family of websites. Complete dhtml menus can be built, in a matter of minutes, without writing a single line of code.
No special plugins and no programming or HTML knowledge required, with just DHTML Menu Builder you'll be able to create great looking and functional dhtml menus for all your web sites. From our Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Topic. Question: What is a Cascading Style Sheet? Answer: A cascading style sheet is a text file with a .CSS extension on your web site that indicates how the web page styles should look. Cascading style sheets make color and style changes easy. From our Logos Topic Tip of the Month Each logo you create should have at most one symbol. You can mess with the text is "textual" ways such as font, color, and minor tweaks, but if you include a "symbol", you should include only one symbol. | |
