HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the language behind the web pages of the Internet, created by Tim Berners-Lee, and uses a system of tags for applying layout, formatting and links to content. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are used to describe the presentation of the HTML. This section contains howtos, tips and tricks about how to use HTML and CSS.
Over the past three weeks I’ve looked at some CSS styles that can be applied to select, optgroup and option tags and how they are rendered differently across different browsers. The information is summarised here in tablular format so it’s easier to compare.
This very short post covers something most people who work with CSS should already know how to do: how to do a strikethrough with CSS. I needed to do this today but didn’t know which property sets it so had to look it up. I usually find by writing a short post like this I remember it in the future and never need to look it up again 🙂
When an element is positioned absolutely with CSS it is by default relative to the window as a whole and not to the parent element. This post shows how to absolutely position an element within another element with CSS.
This post is part of a series looking at how to style optgroup and options with CSS. Previously I have looked at Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari and this post looks at Google Chrome. Next week’s HTML/CSS post will present the findings in a tabular format so it’s easy to see what can and can’t be styled consistently across browsers.
