Decoration Changes the decoration for text. Options include underline, overline, line-through, blink,
and none. The blink decoration is displayed only in Netscape 4.x and earlier browsers.
Weight Sets the boldness of the text. You can use the relative settings (light, bold, bolder, and
boldest) or apply a numeric value. Normal is around 400; bold is 700.
Variant Switches between normal and small caps. Small caps is a font style that displays text as
uppercase, but the capital letters are a slightly larger size.
Case Forces a browser to render the text as uppercase, lowercase, or capitalized.
Color Sets a color for the selected font. Enter a color name or select the color swatch to
choose a browser-safe color from the color picker.
Background options
Since Netscape Navigator 2.0, Web designers have been able to use background images and color. Thanks
to CSS Background attributes, designers can now use background images and color with increased control.
Whereas traditional HTML background images are restricted to a single image for the entire browser window,
CSS backgrounds can be specified for a single paragraph or any other CSS selector. (To set a background
for the entire page, apply the style to the tag.) Moreover, instead of an image automatically
tiling to fill the browser window, CSS backgrounds can be made to tile horizontally, vertically, or not at all
(see Figure 7-15).
