CSS for forms

- [Narrator] Let's start with the most basic CSS style…that you use in form design, and that is the form element.…Now before diving right into that,…I want to point out a couple of things.…I'm starting with a very bare bones,…completely unstyled form, and I've made that available…for you in the exercise files.…I also want to note that inside the style element…there's no styling at all for the page itself,…and I want to just show you the relationship…between styling a page and styling a form.…

So let me create a little, very basic code…for a body style that will apply to the entire page.…And what I want to you note here is that the form itself…inherited all the different styling that I applied…to the body, so I just want you to be aware…that that's how inheritance works.…Next, let's define some basic styling for the form itself.…Note over on the live side of the screen how the font…styling as well as all the other styling that I applied…to the form overrides the styling from the body tag.…

So, two rules.…One, forms inherit basic styling from the body tag.…
