The border-width Property and The border-color Property

The border-width property specifies the width of the four borders, while the border-color property specifies the color of the four borders

Here we have some colored borders of varying sizes and colors.

Some text.

A solid red border

A solid green border

A dotted blue border

A red inset border with slateblue text.

The border-radius Property

This property is used to add rounded borders to an element:

Normal border

Round border

Rounder border

Roundest border

Note:No "border-(control property)" will work without having the border-style property set first. Always specify the "border-style" property to set the borders firs, then use additonal control properties to modify the borders.

Borders Continued...

Borders can have more than one color

One-colored border, Big Deal!

Two-colored border, Better than the 1 color I guess!

Three-colored border, Getting kinda fancy there!

Four-colored border, Now you're just showing off!

Note: The "border-color" property does not work if it is used alone. Use the "border-style" property to set the borders first.

That was alot of work on just borders. I can tell that this is going to be a long journey. Might as well get started. On to Margins!

CSS Margins

This element has a margin of 70px.

This element has a top margin of 100px, a right margin of 150px, a bottom margin of 100px, and a left margin of 80px.

All CSS Margin Properties

margin-bottom: Sets the bottom margin of an element

margin-left: Sets the left margin of an element

margin-right: Sets the right margin of an element

This topic really deserves a page of it's own. Since I'm only writing about the topics I used to create the hompage, it's not absolutely mission critical right now. Note to self Remember to make a "Margins" page.

There is way too much information for me include and most of what I'm reading right now I don't completely get. I'll try to avoid adding information I really don't fully understand. Once I have a better handle on margins I'll post a page on them.
