css style sheet is one that I wrote for a project
a while ago and have since found very useful as a starting point for
developing sites. Its purpose is to assign some overall styles for the
most commonly used XHTML elements that are more to my taste
than the default browser styles. This idea of creating style sheets
that express one??™s personal design preferences as a starting point for
each site is an interesting concept, and the text_n_colors.css style
sheet is an evolving example of it. To make this set of ???starter styles???
as useful as possible, I??™ve started to standardize the names of the
main divs in my page layouts (header, navigation, content, promo,
and footer, for example), as you have seen throughout this book. If
those names don??™t make sense for the IDs of divs of a speci?¬? c project,
I just use names that are more relevant, and then do a quick
search-and-replace on ID and class names in the style sheets to
match up the style sheet with the ???improved??? names in the markup.
In the text_n_colors.css style sheet, I have created sets of colors
and text sizes organized by a descriptive class name (e.g., lime,
olive). Each style in each set has a contextual selector that uses one
of these descriptive class names and a div ID (for example, .lime
#nav p {color:#444;}). I can then easily select text styles for each of
the main divs by simply adding a class name (lime, in this example)
to the body tag of the page.
