Styling Links with CSS

18 August 2008 / Leave a Comment

CSS gives you a fair amount of flexibility when it comes to styling links. You can alter the look of:

normal links
links that have already been visited
links that are being clicked on, and
links that are hovered over with the mouse.

You can even turn text links into image links, using nothing but CSS. In this article you learn how to change the look of different link states using CSS, as well as how to alter link colours, underlining, and appearance in general.

Controlling Background Images and Colours

17 January 2003 / 6 Comments

This tutorial shows you how to work with the various CSS background properties. Using CSS, you can specify things like:

The background colour to use for a Web page, table, paragraph, etc
The background image for a Web page, table, paragraph, etc
Whether the background image scrolls with the page, or is fixed on the screen
Whether the background image repeats
The position of the background image

Adding a nice coloured or graphical background to your Web pages is a quick and easy way to spice up your site. However, it’s also very easy to make Web pages look horrible, or even unreadable with the wrong type of background! The section at the end of the tutorial will help you avoid some of the common pitfalls associated with backgrounds.
