I read the 'CSS and HTML help' post before posting this topic, and that confused me instead of giving me pointers. So I'm learning HTML by that website htmldog.com, and I am on the CSS code practice. Thing is, the first lesson they have is incorporating color into the text. They start out with in-line style color codes, and I tried incorporating this into my text editor {notepad...lol} and for some reason, the code isn't doing anything. What am I doing wrong? This is the tag that they have for in-line style:
<p style="color: red">text</p> I tried playing around with it to see what else could work, but since I'm learning, that is kind of hard to do. Do you guys need a screen shot of what I'm typing in as the code, or can you easily tell from this post what I'm doing wrong?

If I need to use the codes for the actual colors, why didn't the tutorial site mention that? Or is that type of code advanced for what I'm learning?
{I'm in the beginner tutorial}

Changing the text color?
I usually use this;
<font color="color">

Now I see your problem! <p style="color: blue"> Changes every bit of text in a paragraph blue. However you don't have paragraphs, you have 2 different header tags. If your looking every bit of text on the page to be of a certain colour you should really have this: | Code: | <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>CSS Practice</title> <style type="text/css">
body { color: blue;}
</style> </head> <body>
<h1>CSS and HTML</h1>
<h2>I'm not Jesus</h2>
<h3>Apocalyptica</h3></p> </body>
</html> |

The lyrics follow, and those are in paragraphs, not headers. Does that change anything? I was kind of hoping to put the headers in blue font and the lyrics {paragraphs} into...I dunno...green or any other color.

It does change everything but any other tags you enter with a different style will change accordingly.
If you wanted to change each colour separately you could have.
| Code: | <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>CSS Practice</title> <style type="text/css">
body { color: blue;}
h1 { color: black;}
h2 { color: red;}
h3 { color: green;}
p { color: yellow;}
</style> </head> <body>
<h1>CSS and HTML</h1>
<h2>I'm not Jesus</h2>
<h3>Apocalyptica</h3></p> </body>
</html> |
It just means now with the body colour tag, anything not inside either the h1, h2, h3, and p tags is now blue. Post edited at 11:57 am on Sep. 11, 2008 by Dexus
