CSS – Cascading Style Sheet

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.

CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is used to format the layout of a webpage.

With CSS, you can control the color, font, the size of text, the spacing between
elements, how elements are positioned and laid out, what background images or
background colors are to be used, different displays for different devices and screen
sizes, and much more

CSS can be added to HTML documents in 3 ways:

 Inline - by using the style attribute inside HTML elements


 Internal - by using a <style> element in the <head> section
 External - by using a <link> element to link to an external CSS file

The most common way to add CSS, is to keep the styles in external CSS files. However,
in this tutorial we will use inline and internal styles, because this is easier to
demonstrate, and easier for you to try it yourself.

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.

The following example sets the text color of the <h1> element to blue, and the text
color of the <p> element to red:

Example
<html>
<body>

<h1 style="color:blue;">A Blue Heading</h1>

<p style="color:red;">A red paragraph.</p>


</body>
</html>
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.

The following example sets the text color of ALL the <h1> elements (on that page) to
blue, and the text color of ALL the <p> elements to red. In addition, the page will be
displayed with a "powderblue" background color:

Example
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {background-color: powderblue;}
h1 {color: blue;}
p {color: red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

External CSS

An external style sheet is used to define the style for many HTML pages.

To use an external style sheet, add a link to it in the <head> section of each HTML page:
Example
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

The 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 what the "styles.css" file looks like:

"styles.css":
body {
background-color: powderblue;
}
h1 {
color: blue;
}
p{
color: red;
}
