Placing bars behind a heading

[Wizard1693]

I was wondering if there was a way to make Bars behing a heading such as the bars behind certain heading in these sites.

In the main content section, every time there is a new entry, the heading for the entry is surrounded by a bar of a chosen color, how can i do this using html or css? If i do it via css i need to know what text exactly to put in the css and what to put in the html so it would work properly, thanks.

The easiest way to do that is to use the <h1> tag for your headings. You put this inside the <style> tags:

h1 {display: block; background-color: #a1b2c3; }

And your headings are written as:

<h1>Heading</h1>

Does that help any?
