CSS Styling

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the standard for specifying display format on the web.

Here are some examples of CSS formatting you might use for a field:

• background-color:Bisque; color:Brown; border:5px solid Brown; font-size:X-large; font-family:"Times New Roman";

• background-color:#9ACD32; color:Olive; font-weight:bold; font-size:large; text-align:left; font-size:20px;

As shown in those examples, you can use standard CSS syntax to specify formatting characteristics:

• Specify colors using hexadecimal values or standard HTML color names.
• Specify font sizes using standard HTML names like X-large and large, or using pixels (20px), or points (14pt).

Percentages like 120% are also valid for sizes, but they are rarely used for fonts.
