Question about color

Post by ccardimon »

Take a look at the image below:

You can see the green underscore.

Now take a look at the next image. This is the same code but from within the text editor:

For the life of me, I can't see where the green line is being generated. Can anyone else?

That would be in the stylesheet. There's a bottom border defined for the h2 tag.

You are right on, Lisa. Thanks! I think I have a terminology problem. To me, that line is an underscore. To Flare, that line is a bottom border. I need to spend more time in style sheets and see what the elements are called.

And to me, an underscore is its own keyboard character which can be_used_to_combine_words, especially for file names. I would have been more apt to call it an underline, which is another CSS attribute and which is a tag in HTML, although the tag is deprecated and you're supposed to use a bottom border or the text-decoration:underline attribute instead of the underline tag.

I have also found some terminology a bit difficult, and I found http://www.w3schools.com a very valuable resource. Have a browse round there and look at the CSS section in particular, I think you'll also find it very helpful. :-)
