Common page elements?

[PHPQuack]

Can you create common page elements with css or no?

What do you mean "create" common page elements.  Common page elements can be used:

 

p {

margin-left: 10px;

}

 

h1,h2,h3 {

font-size: 20px;

}

 

If you have certain custom things that need to be used on each page, create a class:

 

.sometext {

font-weight:bold;

font-decoration:underline;

}

 

Then you can use it like <p class="sometext">, <span class="sometext">, etc.

 

If this isn't what you are looking for, please elaborate on your questions.

You cannot creat elements with CSS. You can only change the appearance and position of things that already exist.

I'm using doctype html strict. I'm trying to create a left navigation area, the footer and header, that'll be the same on every page, like what FrontPage calls shared borders. I read something about css that was referring to those terms, which I cannot find again, but not sure if that's what it meant, which from what I recalled, had to do with "margin". From the replies, sounds like this is not what css can do?

 

From what I understood about css "margin", it's is mainly to create space around elements. So, in a way, it's KIND of like padding for a table?

 

Just need a little clarification, so that I don't keep looking in the wrong places.

Although you can draw a parallel of css margins to padding in a table... but of course, it is very difficult to do that. The two are completely different in every humanly way possible.
