Creating a Legend for your Grid or Graph
Posted on January 27 2009
I am not proffesional at making those cool looking legends for your grids. But i had to do it recently at work. I had the choice to go online and find a ready made one, but where is the fun in that. I am going to show you how i did it so you can follow along 
First lets get the html markup out of the way:
1: <div class="legend”>
2: <span>Titlespan> C - Create<br /> D - Delete<br /> A - Angel
3: div>
simple enough, you can use any different type of tags, i like those so i’ll use them.
Now lets start styling with some css:
1: div.legend
2: {
3: /* first i want it to be 20% of the surrounding div, change this according to the sizing of your page */
4: width: 20%;
5: /* align the text inside to center so it’s more appealing */
6: text-align: center;
7: /* now we need the border that will surround the div */
8: border: 1px solid gray;
9: /* position this relatively so we can position our title absolutely */
10: position:relative;
11: /* add a little padding on top so the title doesn’t cut it off */
12: padding-top:8px;
13: }
Lets see how that looks 
Well that is looking well, now let’s position our title.
1: .legend span
2: {
3: /* position this absoute so it can be directly at the top left of our image */
4: position:absolute;
5: /* since it’s absolute we control position with top and left properties */
6: left:10px;
7: top:-10px;
8: /* give it a little space on the sides, when you only specify the first two then you want then to repeat so this really means 0 2px 0 2px */
9: padding:0 2px;
10: /* just so this span holds its own
11: display:block;
12: /* very important to use white background so that it erases the broder of the encapsulating div */
13: background-color:#fff;
14: /* any decorations you want to put on the title go here */
15: font-weight:bold;
16: }
Well that looks just great in my browsers let me know if you have any suggestions.
