Style Editor Help

Introduction

The Style Editor gives you visual control over the design of your inline and external style definitions.

NOTE

By default the browser with which you preview your style is Internet Explorer. Remember, not every style you design works right under IE, and most style definitions look slightly different under different browsers. This is because the browser companies have some discretion in the appearance of various styles. Much of the information below is paraphrased or directly quoted from the World Wide Web Consortium, http://www.w3c.org. The Style Editor only supports the CSS1 specification.
