How to create \"notes\" with CSS?
To create a design like notes, we need to style it according with CSS on a web page. Consider the sticky notes provided by Google Keep. It provided different color label options. Let us see how to create some notes.
Syntax
selector {
background-color: color;
border-left: width solid color;
padding: value;
margin: value;
}
Set Different Divs for Notes
Here, we are creating three notes representing danger, success and information. We have set different divs −
<div class="danger"> <p><strong>Danger!</strong>Operation may damage your computer</p> </div> <div class="success"> <p><strong>Success!</strong>Operation has been performed successfully</p> </div> <div class="info"> <p><strong>Info!</strong>Need more resources to perform this operation</p> </div>
Danger Note
For our example, we have styled a design representing a danger note −
.danger {
background-color: #ffdddd;
border-left: 6px solid #f44336;
}
Success Note
For our example, we have styled a design representing a success note −
.success {
background-color: #ddffdd;
border-left: 6px solid #4CAF50;
}
Information Note
For our example, we have styled a design representing an information note −
.info {
background-color: #e7f3fe;
border-left: 6px solid #2196F3;
}
Example
To create 'notes' with CSS, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
body {
font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
div {
margin-bottom: 15px;
padding: 12px;
font-size: 16px;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.danger {
background-color: #ffdddd;
border-left: 6px solid #f44336;
}
.success {
background-color: #ddffdd;
border-left: 6px solid #4CAF50;
}
.info {
background-color: #e7f3fe;
border-left: 6px solid #2196F3;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Notes Example</h1>
<div class="danger">
<p><strong>Danger!</strong> Operation may damage your computer</p>
</div>
<div class="success">
<p><strong>Success!</strong> Operation has been performed successfully</p>
</div>
<div class="info">
<p><strong>Info!</strong> Need more resources to perform this operation</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Three styled note boxes appear on the page: - A red-bordered box with light red background showing "Danger!" message - A green-bordered box with light green background showing "Success!" message - A blue-bordered box with light blue background showing "Info!" message
Conclusion
CSS notes are created using background colors and border styling. The border-left property with solid colors creates the distinctive note appearance, while background colors enhance the visual distinction.
