/**
 * This is a CSS style sheet that defines three style rules that we use
 * in the body of the document to create a "window" visual effect.
 * The rules use positioning attributes to set the overall size of the window 
 * and the position of its components.  Changing the size of the window
 * requires careful changes to positioning attributes in all three rules.

<!-- Here is how we define a window: a "window" div with a titlebar and -->
<!-- content div nested between them.  Note how position is specified with -->
<!-- a style attribute that augments the styles from the style sheet -->
<div class="window" style="left: 10px; top: 10px; z-index: 10;">
<div class="titlebar">Test Window</div>
<div class="content">
1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>6<br>7<br>8<br>9<br>0<br> <!--Lots of lines to -->
1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>6<br>7<br>8<br>9<br>0<br> <!--demonstrate scrolling-->
</div>
</div>

<!-- Here's another window with different position, color, and font weight -->
<div class="window" style="left: 170px; top: 140px; z-index: 20;">
<div class="titlebar">Another Window</div>
<div class="content" style="background-color:#d0d0d0; font-weight:bold;">
This is another window.  Its <tt>z-index</tt> puts it on top of the other one.
