Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

STYLE — NN n/a IE 4 HTML 4

Synopsis

STYLE=”styleSheetProperties"

Optional

This attribute lets you set one or more style sheet rule property assignments for the current element. The format of the property assignments depends on the browser’s default style, but both Navigator and Internet Explorer accept the CSS syntax. Style sheet rules influence this element in Internet Explorer 4 for the Macintosh more than they do the Windows version. You may wish to wait for improved (and cross-browser) implementation before setting styles of TEXTAREA elements.

Example

<TEXTAREA STYLE="text-size:14pt"></TEXTAREA>

Value

An entire CSS-syntax style sheet rule is enclosed in quotes. Multiple style attribute settings are separated by semicolons. Style sheet attributes are detailed in Chapter 10.

Default

None.
