StormForum Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hello,I'm pretty new to CSS, and learning via the CSS section of W3Schools Web site. When I put the following code in my CSS file, how do I make it display on a normal web page.For example you put the following code in the CSS file: p.right {text-align: right} And so, you put the following code on a web page to make it display: <p class="right">Text Here</p> So if I put this code in the CSS file: body {color: black} What's the code for it to be displayed on a web page?Also, ...... .center {text-align: center} If I used that, do I "exactly" use the following code on a web page? <p class="center">Text</p> Sorry, I'm new to this, so any help appreciated! :)Thanks!

vchris Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Your body color css is automatically used when you have <body> in your page. So your text should me black. No need for classes. Without classes this means all occurrences of <body> will have a color of black since there is only 1 <body> by page this makes sense.By using .center {text-align: center}, this means any tags with class="center" will have it's content centered. It can be a <table class="center"> or a <ul class="center">. Your code <p class="center">Text</p> is correct and will work. Your first example p.right {text-align: right}, this means only <p> tags can be affected by your style. So if you have <table class="right"> it would not have any effect.
