Hi,
Does anyone have any examples of a basic css layout that can be tweaked?
Most I've seen are heavily laden with many elementals and tricks..etc.

I really just need to take a look at the basics, correct syntax and
inclusions such as:
Body attributes
Link attributes
and so on.

There's really no need for me to replace tables with css, just basic
formatting, but everything I've seen has so much in it that when I look at
the source it's a confusing array of .form, .headertext, .etc..etc.

Save to txt file and then call it?
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="my.css">

Is this what I'm looking for?

BODY {
FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana
}
a:link {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: overline;


}

Follow up question.

Assuming I got the mojo right in the css txt file, then as I create the
pages I simply assign everything to default?
Default text style, default text color?
In other words, set everything to just default and let the css interpret?

Which is the default - you don't need to /do/ anything.

Don't set anything - Let your CSS handle it.

Quoth the raven named Got_Net:

font-size: 100%, font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Google for the many discussions and reasons why Verdana is a Bad
Idea.™ Also, when you define a color, always define a background
color as well. background: <a very light color contrasting with your
black>; something like: background: #2f4f4f;

L.V.H.A. Move the hover above the active.

Personally, I do not like overline. It kinda looks silly, too.
Visitors are expecting links to be underlined, which is the default.

I see, I think

I had just cut/copy/pasted the previous example.

Have to go with white background, so, the below should work just fine,
right?

body {
background: #ffffff; font-size: 100%; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
a:link {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;

}

I've got four samples that might help give you a few ideas here

They're very basic.

fatha_forgive_em_for_they_have_sinned@theweb.com says...

Probably mentioned this last time it was posted, but the final two
pseudo classes are back to front... link, visited, hover, active is the
correct order for the 'cascading' bit of CSS to do it's stuff.

(And if you're specifying color, you should be specifying background: as
wel...)
