W3C Style Sheets

This page documents how W3C uses style sheets on our own server. Due to a large number of historical documents which we still want to make available, documents on our server are not consistent in their use of style sheets. However, if you author new documents you must use style sheets.

This page is publically readable. If you come from the outside, feel free to look around to see how we use style sheets at W3C. Some of the pages pointed to from these pages aren’t publically readable. Though.

• the look of ours pages become more consitent
• the HTML markup on our pages become simpler
• as an author, you don’t have to worry much about presentation issues

1. find the right category for your document
2. insert a LINK element pointing to the style sheet in your document

W3C document types

The list below contains common document types on the W3C server and each of these types should have a style sheet associated with it. Some of them will be quite similar in the beginning, but will allow more distinct presentations when we are ready. Please use the style sheets where they exist, else the generic style sheet for the access level — Tim.

Linking to style sheets

Then replace the x’es with the name of your style sheet, e.g. «member». The «.css» extension is not necessary. So, the start of your document will typically look something like:

W3C classes

Below is a very sketchy list of possible class names to encode semantics. Using these, we could e.g. give member-only links a certain color.

A.member	member only links
P.policy	Policy footnotes
.editorial	editorial remarks
.errata	errata to our specifications
.speaker	The name of the speaker in the minutes
.site	The name of the site in minutes
.action	Outsanding action item
.done	Completed action item

This list will never become complete, but we should try to converge around a core set of classes for each of the document types. —> Håkon, with input from Henrik, Tim, Bert, Chris, Sally.

HTML Links

Links are found in nearly all web pages. Links allow users to click their way from page to page.

HTML Links — Hyperlinks

HTML links are hyperlinks.

You can click on a link and jump to another document.

When you move the mouse over a link, the mouse arrow will turn into a little hand.

Note: A link does not have to be text. A link can be an image or any other HTML element!

HTML Links — Syntax

The link text is the part that will be visible to the reader.

Clicking on the link text, will send the reader to the specified URL address.

Example

This example shows how to create a link to W3Schools.com:

By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers:

• An unvisited link is underlined and blue
• A visited link is underlined and purple
• An active link is underlined and red

Tip: Links can of course be styled with CSS, to get another look!

HTML Links — The target Attribute

By default, the linked page will be displayed in the current browser window. To change this, you must specify another target for the link.

The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document.

The target attribute can have one of the following values:

• _self — Default. Opens the document in the same window/tab as it was clicked
• _blank — Opens the document in a new window or tab
• _parent — Opens the document in the parent frame
• _top — Opens the document in the full body of the window

Example

Use target=»_blank» to open the linked document in a new browser window or tab:

Absolute URLs vs. Relative URLs

Both examples above are using an absolute URL (a full web address) in the href attribute.

A local link (a link to a page within the same website) is specified with a relative URL (without the «https://www» part):

Example

Absolute URLs

W3C

Google

Relative URLs

HTML Images

CSS Tutorial

HTML Links — Use an Image as a Link

To use an image as a link, just put the tag inside the tag:

Example

Link to an Email Address

Use mailto: inside the href attribute to create a link that opens the user’s email program (to let them send a new email):

Example

Button as a Link

To use an HTML button as a link, you have to add some JavaScript code.

JavaScript allows you to specify what happens at certain events, such as a click of a button:

Example

Tip: Learn more about JavaScript in our JavaScript Tutorial.

Link Titles

The title attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element.

CSS Links

With CSS, links can be styled in many different ways.

Styling Links

Links can be styled with any CSS property (e.g. color , font-family , background , etc.).

Example

In addition, links can be styled differently depending on what state they are in.

The four links states are:

• a:link — a normal, unvisited link
• a:visited — a link the user has visited
• a:hover — a link when the user mouses over it
• a:active — a link the moment it is clicked

Example

/* unvisited link */
a:link color: red;
>

/* visited link */
a:visited color: green;
>

/* mouse over link */
a:hover color: hotpink;
>

/* selected link */
a:active color: blue;
>

When setting the style for several link states, there are some order rules:

Text Decoration

The text-decoration property is mostly used to remove underlines from links:

Example

a:visited text-decoration: none;
>

a:hover text-decoration: underline;
>

a:active text-decoration: underline;
>

Background Color

The background-color property can be used to specify a background color for links:

Example

a:link <
background-color: yellow;
>

a:visited background-color: cyan;
>

a:hover background-color: lightgreen;
>

a:active background-color: hotpink;
>

Link Buttons

This example demonstrates a more advanced example where we combine several CSS properties to display links as boxes/buttons:

Example

a:link, a:visited <
background-color: #f44336;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
>

a:hover, a:active background-color: red;
>

More Examples

Example

This example demonstrates how to add other styles to hyperlinks:

Example

Another example of how to create link boxes/buttons:

a:link, a:visited <
background-color: white;
color: black;
border: 2px solid green;
padding: 10px 20px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
>

a:hover, a:active background-color: green;
color: white;
>

Example

This example demonstrates the different types of cursors (can be useful for links):

HTML Tag

The tag defines the relationship between the current document and an external resource.

The tag is most often used to link to external style sheets or to add a favicon to your website.

The element is an empty element, it contains attributes only.
