Adding Borders to Web Page Columns with BlueTrip CSS - Assigning fancy CSS classes to HTML headers
(Page 4 of 4 )
In reality, the BlueTrip CSS framework comes equipped by default with some useful CSS classes that can be used for spicing up the look of different elements of a web document. In this particular case, I'm going to show you how to use one of these classes, called "fancy," for giving an elegant style to text-based elements.
The example below demonstrates how to assign this class to all of the H2 headers included in a web page.

From the above example, it's clear to see how simple it is to turn boring H2 headers into elegant elements by using the "fancy" CSS class of BlueTrip. Since the code sample speaks for itself, I suggest you look at the following image, which shows how the previous web page is displayed on the browser:
Not too bad, huh? As you'll possibly agree with me, BlueTrip makes it really easy to add "fancy" styles to HTML headers on a web document. In the above example, these styles were added to a few H2 elements, but naturally this process can be applied to other text-based elements, such as paragraphs and lists as well.
And with this last hands-on example, I'm finishing this second tutorial on working with the BlueTrip CSS framework. As always, feel free to edit all of the code samples shown in this article, so you can get a better understanding of using helpful CSS classes that come bundled with BlueTrip.
Final thoughts
In this second chapter of the series, I showed you how to use some handy CSS classes that come with the BlueTrip CSS framework to add borders to web page columns and create truly fancy H2 headers.
In the next episode, I'm going to explore a few more CSS classes provided by the framework, which will be used for displaying eye-catching variations of HTML headers. Don't miss the upcoming part!
