Class Definitions

Classes are defined as follows:

.SmallLinkFont{
    font-family: sans-serif, serif, monospace;
    font-size: 80%;
    font-weight: normal;
   }

In this example:

• .SmallLinkFont is the style name
• The curly braces ({}) start and end the style definition
• The pairs within the curly braces are the properties that define the style
• The style properties are separated by semi-colons (;)

To use classes, the HTML pages must include additional code that tells the browser when to use the class. The HTML code that must be added resembles the following:

<span class="SmallLinkFont">

where span applies the style from the CSS, and class="SmallLinkFont" tells the browser which style to use.

To modify a class, change the definition of the style properties. For example, to change the font to bold, change the following property in the class definition from font-weight: normal; to font-weight: bold;.

When a browser renders an HTML page that contains the <span class="SmallLinkFont"> it will display the text in bold.
