imma making a homepage for the forum im admin on and i wanna know if its possible for me to link a css file with html file

Hello darkgoku,

Wherever HTML formats you can write :

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet_ref" type="text/css">

Replace stylesheet_ref by your external sheet.

can u give me and example of this working

It wont work unless you link to your external stylesheet..

If you don't have an external sheet to link to, then you can write an inline sheet :

Code:

<style type="text/css">
/* Style rules */
</style>

Again, it can go anywhere HTML formats.

but how would i edit the css or add one

You would add your rule to the inline sheet :

Code:

<style type="text/css">
/* Style rules */
.selector { color:red }
.styleSomething {
  background:yellow;
  font-style:italic;
  color:blue;
}
</style>

i;; try this when i get home and ill update this if it doesnt work for me

how do i make like a border around a word like forum or portal

Create an element :

Code:

<span></span>

add some text to that element :

Code:

<span>My texte</span>

add a class to the element :

Code:

<span class="myElement">My texte</span>

add a CSS rule to your inline sheet :

Code:

.myElement { border:1px solid #f00 }

thank you this helped alot

You're welcome.

Is this solved ?

um what do i put for the element

Here's a list of HTML tags(or elements) that you can use :
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp

It can be like the tag in my example. <span> is inline and doesn't mess the layout up, unless you make major changes in the CSS.

do i put the inline style sheet inside the html code or somewhere else

Yes, you can place the inline style where you're writing HTML. Make sure that it is before all your elements that you're styling. This ensures that the style is ready before the HTML elements.

Example :

Code:

<style type="text/css">
.redText { color:red; }
</style>
Apples are <span class="redText">red</span>.

is it possible if i give u the code i have can u put a  inline sheet in it then send it back and ill edit it

Post it here, or send it by PM. Whatever you're more comfortable with..

how do i make a text goto a link with the code u gave as a example

You can use the anchor tag : <a>
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp

example :

Code:

<a href="/forum">Forum</a>

The above word links to the forum. href being the URL which the user is referred to, and "Forum" being the textual content.

how do i put a link with t <a> and <span> on the same line

You can place tags inside tags, for example :

Code:

<a href="/forum">
  <span>
    My text
  </span>
</a>

Minified :

Code:

<a href="/forum"><span>My text</span></a>

This website does have a tutorial on HTML for beginners, if you haven't read it yet. It will explain all that you need to know : http://www.w3schools.com/html/

It needs to be after the image in the document. You can use either a break <br> or <div> tag to add elements onto a new line. If you're using a <div> tag you can add the text-align property to it to align the content within.

well thnx

You're welcome
