Can you please answer a few questions for me regarding the coding below:
1) for the margin and padding does it have to be "0" or can it be any value?
2) the coding below it says that the overflow is hidden ... can it be anything or does it have to be hidden ?
3) the text-decoration says its none but can i put anything if i want to or does it have to be none?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;
}
li {
float: left;
}
li a {
display: block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
li a:hover {
background-color: #111;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a class="active" href="#home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#news">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

It can be whatever you want as long as you restrict yourself to the allowed unities units. I wouldn't use miles or km.

CSS3 may have added a little, but the CSS 2.1 spec is easier to read. so...

It can be any of the defined values.

As above.

The property index is useful for looking things up.

For the first part of the question you said "as long as you restrict yourself to the allowed unities."
Can you please explain what you mean by that ... because i don't really understand that smile.gif

My fingers slipped (corrected in my original post). I meant to write the allowed units. You find those if you click the link to the spec.
