Put the following tag between the <head> and </head> tags of the intro.htm document:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="corporat.css" />

<span style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px"> What would you like to</span> <h1 style="position: absolute; left: 80px; top: 20px"> THROW TODAY?</H1>
Exercises
- Develop a standard style sheet for your Web site and link it into all your pages. (Use inline styles for pages that need to deviate from it.) If you work for a corporation, chances are it has developed font and style specifications for printed materials. Get a copy of those specifications and follow them for company Web pages, too.
- Be sure to explore the official style sheet specs at http://www.w3c.org
