B. CSS Properties and Values

This book does not cover every single property defined in the Cascading Style Sheet specifications. Instead, I focus on those properties that are supported by at least one browser.

Table B.1 is designed as a quick reference to many common or useful CSS properties and their allowed values. I have also indicated each property’s default or initial value, the elements to which it may be applied, whether or not the property is inherited, and what percentages refer to if they may be used. Table B.1 is derived from the complete specifications at www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html and is copyright © World Wide Web Consortium (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique, Keio University).
