WDS43 - Style the Lists

In the last article, we learned about customising links on the web pages and even learn to convert a link into beautiful button without using any button element. Now in this article, we are going to customise lists in web pages with the help of CSS.
Let's begin...

Changing List Markers

The list-style-type property allows changing the type of list marker using CSS. We can do this same thing also using HTML syntax but it is always better to have our styling in CSS file so that we can change it easily.
Following values are available for unordered lists:
  • disc
  • square
  • circle
  • none
Following values are available for ordered lists:
  • decimal
  • decimal-leading-zero(decimal numbers padded by initial zeros)
  • lower-roman
  • upper-roman
  • lower-greek
  • lower-latin
  • upper-latin
  • lower-alpha
  • upper-alpha
  • none

An Image as List Item Marker

The list-style-image property specifies an image as the list item marker.

ul{
    list-style-image: url('sample.png');
}

Position The List Item Marker

The list-style-position property specifies whether the list-item markers will be inside or outside content flow.

ul{
    list-style-position: inside;
}

Shorthand

The list-style property is shorthand for setting the three list properties: list-style-type, list-style-position, list-style-image.

ul{
    list-style: circle inside url('sample.png');
}

The order should be as above while writing shorthand.

Using Colors to Style

We can easily customise colors of list background and also of specific elements by selecting list elements such as ol and li.
Here is one example:

That's all for today. In the next article, we will learn about customising tables using CSS.
Till then #keepCoding.

I created this blog for various purposes including First and most importantly improve my coding Help others to learn various concepts in programming  To complete my hobby of blogging So, I am starting various series simultaneously, hope I will able to continue them. In this " Python Project " series, I will create simple python projects and will give step by step procedure to do that. I think you should first try to complete code yourself, then if you get stuck anywhere, feel free to check steps, refer complete code or comment for more help. Let's begin...

WDS85 - Animate the CSS(Part 3)

In the last two articles, we learned about animations in CSS and various ways to customize them with the help of iterations and animation delays. Now in today's article, we are going to learn more about them so that to customize them even more. Let's begin... Reverse Directions and Alternate Cycles The animation-direction property in CSS decides whether we want to play animation forward, backward or in alternate cycles. Following values are possible: normal - This is the default. Animation plays as normal(forward). reverse - The animation plays in reverse direction that is backward. alternate - The animation first plays forward and then backward. alternate-reverse - The animation first plays backward and then forward. Speed Curve of Animation Just like we used various ways to customize transitions in CSS some articles before, same functions can be used to change the speed of the animation. The animation-timing-function property specifies the speed curve o

WDS83 - Animate the CSS

In the last two articles, we learned about CSS transitions and created some pretty cool elements with transitions and transformations. Now in today's class, we are going to learn animations in CSS which creates animations without the use of javascript or flash. CSS Animations A CSS animation lets us change an element's style from one to another. We can change as many properties as we want. To use this CSS animations, we have to first specify some keyframe rules which include how and which properties are we changing. The @keyframes Rule When we specify CSS styles inside the  @keyframes rule, the animations will gradually change from current style to new style at certain times. To get these working, we must bind animations to an element. Let's understand more by an example... @keyframes myAnimation { from { background-color : blue ;} to { background-color : red ;} } div { width : 100px ; height : 100px ; background-color : b
