You can define properties for CSS rules such as text font, background image and color, spacing and layout properties, and the appearance of list
elements. First create a new rule, then set any of the following properties.
Define CSS type properties
You use the Type category in the CSS Rule Definition dialog box to define basic font and type settings for a CSS style.
1. Open the CSS Styles panel (Shift + F11) if it isn’t already open.
2. Double-click an existing rule or property in the top pane of the CSS Styles panel.
3. In the CSS Rule Definition dialog box, select Type, and then set the style properties.
Leave any of the following properties empty if they are not important to the style:
Sets the font family (or series of families) for the style. Browsers display text in the first font in the series that is
installed on the user’s system. For compatibility with Internet Explorer 3.0, list a Windows font first. The font attribute is
supported by both browsers.
Defines the size of the text. You can choose a specific size by selecting the number and the unit of measurement,
or you can choose a relative size. Pixels work well to prevent browsers from distorting your text. The size attribute is
supported by both browsers.
Specifies Normal, Italic, or Oblique as the font style. The default setting is Normal. The style attribute is supported
by both browsers.
Sets the height of the line on which the text is placed. This setting is traditionally called leading. Select Normal to
have the line height for the font size calculated automatically, or enter an exact value and select a unit of measurement.The
line height attribute is supported by both browsers.
Adds an underline, overline, or line-through to the text, or makes the text blink. The default setting for
regular text is None. The default setting for links is Underline. When you set the link setting to none, you can remove the
underline from links by defining a special class.The decoration attribute is supported by both browsers.
Applies a specific or relative amount of boldface to the font. Normal is equivalent to 400; Bold is equivalent to
700. The weight attribute is supported by both browsers.
Sets the small caps variant on text. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window. The
variant attribute is supported by Internet Explorer but not Navigator.
Capitalizes the first letter of each word in the selection or sets the text to all uppercase or lowercase. The
case attribute is supported by both browsers.
Sets the text color. The color attribute is supported by both browsers.
4. When you are finished setting these options, select another CSS category on the left side of the panel to set additional style
properties, or click OK.
Define CSS style background properties
Use the Background category of the CSS Rule Definition dialog box to define background settings for a CSS style. You can apply background
