  • 2. Amend the body and #wrapper CSS rules, adding some padding to the former (so
    the content doesn??™t hug the browser window edges during testing) and a shorthand
    font definition to the latter (in place of existing content).
    body {
    font: 62.5%/1.5 Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    padding: 20px;
    }
    #wrapper {
    font: 1.2em/1.5em 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Lucida,
    ?? Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    }

    When creating lists such as this, don??™t overcomplicate things, and try to avoid going to
    many levels of nesting, or combining ordered and unordered lists; otherwise, the
    selectors required for overrides become extremely complicated.

    3. Style the list. Add the following rule, which adds a solid border around the definition
    list that has a codeList class value:
    .codeList {
    border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;
    }
    4. Style the definition term element. Add the following rule, which styles the dt element.
    The rule colors the background of dt elements within any element with a
    class value of codeList, and also adds some padding so the content of the dt
    elements doesn??™t hug their borders. The font-weight value of bold ensures the
    content stands out, while the border-bottom value will be used as a device
    throughout the other rules, separating components of the design with a fairly thin
    white line.
