The document discusses various CSS properties for styling elements, including borders, overflow, margins and paddings, width and height, and lists. It provides examples and live demos of how to apply each property, such as using border shorthand to set multiple border properties at once, rounding corners with border-radius, and creating a menu-like unordered list with floated list items.

numerical value (e.g. 10px)
 border-color: color alias or RGB value
 border-style: none, hidden, dotted,
dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge,

5. Border Shorthand Property
 border: shorthand rule for setting border
properties at once:
border: 1px solid red
is equal to writing:
border-width:1px;
border-color:red;
border-style:solid;
 Specify different borders for the sides via
shorthand rules: border-top, border-left,
border-right, border-bottom
 When to avoid border:0 5

7. Rounded Corners

8. Rounded Corners
 Rounded corners are actually a part of CSS 3
 Supported in all major browsers
 Firefox, IE 9, Chrome, Opera and Safari
 Done by the border-radius property
border-radius: [<length>|<%>][<length>|<%>]?
 Three ways to define corner radius:
border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 10px;
border-radius: 15px 20px;

10. Overflow

11. Overflow
 overflow: defines the behavior of element when
content needs more space than you have specified by
the size properties or for other reasons. Values:
 visible (default) – content spills out of the
element
 auto - show scrollbars if needed
 scroll – always show scrollbars
 hidden – any content that cannot fit is clipped

13. Margins and Paddings

14. Margin and Padding
 margin and padding define the spacing
around the element
 Numerical value, e.g. 10px or -5px
 Can be defined for each of the four sides
separately - margin-top, padding-left, …
 margin is the spacing outside of the border
 padding is the spacing between the border and
the content
 What are collapsing margins?
14

15. Margin and Padding: Short Rules
 margin: 5px;
 Sets all four sides to have margin of 5 px;
 margin: 10px 20px;
 top and bottom to 10px, left and right to 20px;
 margin: 5px 3px 8px;
 top 5px, left/right 3px, bottom 8px
 margin: 1px 3px 5px 7px;
 top, right, bottom, left (clockwise from top)
 Same for padding

20. Width and Height
 width – defines numerical value for the width
of element, e.g. 200px
 height – defines numerical value for the
height of element, e.g. 100px
 By default the height of an element is defined
by its content
 Inline elements do not apply height, unless you
change their display style

22. List Styles
For Ordered and Unordered Lists

23. Styles for Lists
 List properties are used to define the look and
feel of the list items
 Mainly to change the list item marker
 Normal styles:
 List-style-type
 Values for <ol>: circle, square,…
 Values for <ul>: upper-roman, lower-alpha
 Values for both: none
ul
{
list-style-type:none;
}

24. List Styles
Live Demo

25. Images as Bullets
 We can set a image for the bullets of a list
 With the property list-style-image
ul
{
list-style-image: url('images/blue-dot.jpg');
}
 Does not work equally for all browsers
 IE puts less space between the bullet and the
content
 Shorthand property
ul
{
list-style: bullet url('images/blue-dot.jpg');
}

26. Images as Bullets - Alternative
 We can place a background in the left-most
 It looks like a image-bullet
ul
{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
li
{
background-image: url("images/blue-dot.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 5px;
padding-left: 14px;
}

28. Creating a Menu-like List
In 5 minutes

29. Creating a Menu-like List
 What a menu has?
 Some buttons that are arranged from right to
left
 We need to make it extensible
 Create a list
 Adding new list item is easy
 No worries when disabling the styles

30. Creating a Menu-like List
ul.menu
{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
li.menu-item
{ Menu-example
float: left;
margin: 10px;
}
