In this example, we'll use a snapshot of the W3C HTML 4.01 specification for Style Sheets and add a custom dynamic StyleSheet to apply some color and font size changes.
+ +A Progressive enhancement strategy is used to extract a static form on the page into a draggable Overlay. Additionally, one of the form inputs is replaced with a Slider. Enter any valid CSS color value into the other inputs (e.g. #123456, #135, rgb(0,0,0), or red).

+Markup
+The markup as stated above is a local snapshot of the HTML 4.01 spec, but with the following markup added to the end of the <body> to show a progressive enhancement model.
<div id="form_container"> + <form class="yui3-widget-bd" id="theme_form" action="#" method="get"> + <fieldset> + <h3>Update Theme</h3> + <label for="font_size">Font size:</label> + <input type="text" size="3" id="font_size" value="16px"> + + <label for="heading_color">Heading color:</label> + <input type="text" size="12" id="heading_color" value="#005A9C"> + + <label for="link_hover">Link hover backgound:</label> + <input type="text" size="12" id="link_hover" value="#ffa"> + </fieldset> + <input type="submit"> + </form> +</div>+ + +
