Topic: another question on css. (Page 1 of 1)

ok is there a way I can change the color to the border using a hex color in this example code?:


<p style="background-color: yellow;margin:0; border:1.5em solid blue; padding:0;">

in other words I want to replace the "solid blue" with a hex color instead...

Yup, just put the hex color in there and you're set. Solid isn't part of the color name however. "Solid" means that your border is a solid line. Solid can be replaced by none, hidden, dotted, dashed, double, groove, ridge, inset and outset.

The way border works in the style you curently have it in is "border: size style color". To learn more about go here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp#border

Yup. For example,

border:1.5em solid #4477AA;

Note that you can abbreviate hex colors when every two digits are repeated:

border:1.5em solid #47A;

I use this abbreviation quite often.

yeah, I noticed people were doing that but I was wondering how they pulled it off!

hi
something along the lines of

<p style="background-color: yellow;margin:0; border:1.5em solid blue; padding:0;" onMouseOver="this.style.borderColor = '#47A'">test</p>

should do you
