CSS Zen Garden Help/Hints

I have had a few questions about help with Zen Garden.  Hope this helps...

First...
  • I encourage you to explore the library of properties/styles CSS provides for you to experiment with . I want folks to try and push the limits. I know it's a technical assignment, with a demo that happened weeks ago, but I'll be looking for some trial and error.
  • Also, there's specific Dreamweaver CSS tutorials here, or go to youtube and search 'dreamweaver css' 
Here's a style you can apply to any class completely hide an area (which is ok, and may be good for mobile version):

display: none;


Here's an example on how you redefine the A (link) tag:

a {

font-family: "Arial Black", Gadget, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: #F00;
text-decoration: none;
font-style: italic;
}

NOTE:
  • 'text-decoration: none' hides the underline
  • More text decoration options here

Here's how you can add an image in a div:

.area5 {
background-color: #CCC;
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: absolute;
top: 250px;
background-image: url(image.jpg);
}

NOTE:
  • 'image.jpg' is an image you include in the same folder as the HTML and CSS files
  • You can move the image using property (absolute) and setting top, left, right, more here
  • You need to adjust the size of the height and width to be able to view the background image
  • View all the things you can do (styles you can add) here
  • You can add these styles to all areas, not just area 5
