of the border.
Every border has three aspects: its width, or thickness; its style,or appearance; and its color. The default value for the width of aborder is medium , which is not explicitly definedbut usually works out to be two or three pixels. Despite this, thereason you don't usually see borders is that the default styleis none, which prevents them from existing. If aborder has no style, then it may as well not exist, so itdoesn't. The absence of a border style also resets the width,

of browser bugs and inconsistencies between operating systems.Remember, though, that CSS is not supposed to be a totally preciselayout language -- and besides, many of the issues discussed inthe chapter are not the fault of CSS but are more fundamental issuesthat you'll encounter no matter what you try to do with acomputer. So, once you've finished this chapter, you will havea grasp not only of how CSS units work, but perhaps also of a fewbasic issues that you previously were unaware of.

Above all, though, regardless of how bleak things may seem, keep

BODY {background-image: url(bigyinyang.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center;background-attachment: fixed;}

Doing this has two immediate effects, as we can see from Figure 6-55. The first is that the background does notscroll along with the document. The second is that the position ofthe image is determined by the viewing area, not the document size.

When printed, of course, the two are the same, since the display areamay already have defined such styles. Assume that a UA has thefollowing styles defined:

UL {list-style-type: disc;}UL UL {list-style-type: circle;}UL UL UL {list-style-type: square;}

If this is so, and it's likely that it will be, you will haveto declare your own styles to overcome the UA's styles.Inheritance won't be enough in such a case.
