HTML Output and CSS Styling

Styles for Telerik controls are defined using Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) syntax. Each style consists of a selector that identifies an HTML element to be styled, and property/value pairs that describe each of the style specifics, e.g. color, padding, margins, etc. For example, the .RadInput_Default style defines the default font and vertical alignment properties for the entire input control:

.RadInput_Default
{
     font: normal 11px Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Sans-Serif; vertical-align: middle;
}

See the CSS Skin File Selectors topic for more information on the specific CSS selectors used for RadInput skins.
