Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL.
What can I do with CSS?
CSS is a style language that defines layout of HTML documents. For example, CSS covers fonts, colours, margins, lines, height, width, background images, advanced positions and many other things. Just wait and see!
HTML can be (mis-)used to add layout to websites. But CSS offers more options and is more accurate and sophisticated. CSS is supported by all browsers today.
After only a few lessons of this tutorial you will be able to make your own style sheets using CSS to give your website a new great look.
An internal style sheet is a section on an HTML page that contains style definitions. Internal style sheets are defined by using the tag within the area of the document.
An external style sheet is a separate file where you can declare all the styles that you want to use on your website. You then link to the external style sheet from all your HTML pages. This means you only need to set the styles for each element once. If you want to update the style of your website, you only need to do it in one place.
Inline style sheets is a term that refers to style sheet information being applied to the current element. By this, I mean that instead of defining the style once, then applying the style against all instances of an element (say the
tag), you only apply the style to the instance you want the style to apply to. Actually, it’s not really a style sheet as such, so a more accurate term would be inline styles.
