HTML Styles - CSS
Styling HTML with CSS
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media.
CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once.
CSS can be added to HTML elements in 3 ways:
- Inline - by using the style attribute in HTML elements
- Internal - by using a <style> element in the <head> section
- External - by using an external CSS file
Inline CSS
An inline CSS is used to apply a unique style to a single HTML element.An inline CSS uses the style attribute of an HTML element.
This example sets the text color of the <h1> element to blue:
Internal CSS
An internal CSS is used to define a style for a single HTML page.
An internal CSS is defined in the <head> section of an HTML page,
within a <style> element:
External CSS
An external style sheet is used to define the style for many HTML pages.
With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an
entire web site, by changing one file!
To use an external style sheet, add a link to it in the <head> section of
the HTML page:
An external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file must not contain any
HTML code, and must be saved with a .css extension.
Here is how the "styles.css" looks:
body {
background-color: powderblue;}
h1 {
color: blue;}
p {
color: red;}
