Configuring Color and Text with CSS - Web Development and Design Foundations with XHTML - page 104

CHAPTER SUMMARY
This chapter introduced Cascading Style Sheet rules associated with color and text on Web pages. There is

formatting borders. As you continue your study of Web development with this textbook, you will study these
additional uses. To learn more about CSS, check out the tutorials at http://echoecho.com/css.htm and
