Using [[CSS]] and [[JavaScript]] is in theory possible for MediaWiki-based wikis, it has to be configured on the server.
{{Wikipedia|CSS|JavaScript}}
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and [[JavaScript]] are generally involved in MediaWiki-based wikis. But while inline CSS is permitted, inline JavaScript is not available.  


Inline-CSS is possible for all HTML-tags supported by MediaWiki (some have to be first enabled on the server), for example <code>tt</code>, <code>code</code>, <code>pre</code>, <code>div</code>, <code>span</code> etc. can be used whereas <code>a</code> or <code>img</code> can not.
Most HTML tags, such as <code>code</code>, <code>pre</code>, <code>div</code>, <code>span</code>, etc., can be directly embedded in the wiki markup; some HTML tags (for example <code>a</code> or <code>img</code>) cannot. For the allowed tags, you can define inline CSS by setting the <code>style</code> attribute, for instance <code><nowiki><span style="border: 1px solid grey; padding: 0 1em">framed sometext</span></nowiki></code>, which is rendered like this: <span style="border: 1px solid grey; padding: 0 1em">framed sometext</span>.


Use the [[SandBox|sandbox]] for experimentation or start a page in the user namespace, IOW as a subpage of your user page, for example <code>User:Me/Sandbox</code>.
User-defined CSS and JavaScript are enabled on the Xenharmonic Wiki. If your personal solutions turn out to be useful for the overall wiki, they might be integrated into the site-wide styles or scripts.
* <code>[[Special:MyPage/common.css|User:''YourName''/common.css]]</code>
* <code>[[Special:MyPage/common.js|User:''YourName''/common.js]]</code>

Use the [[SandBox]] for experimentation or start a page in the user namespace, in other words as a subpage of your user page, for example <code>[[Special:MyPage/Sandbox|User:''YourName''/Sandbox]]</code>.
