Introduction to CSS

What is CSS?

.CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.
Styles define how to display Html elements.
Cascading means dynamic,Style Sheet means combination of plain text.
CSS provides 4 types of style sheets.
1)Internal Style Sheets
2)External Style Sheets
3)Inline Style Sheets
4)Embed Style Sheets

1)Internal Style Sheets:

In this type of style sheets we can include CSS within the <head> tag.
Syntax:
<head>
<style type="text/css”>
CSS Properties
</style>
</head>

2)External Style Sheet:

In this type of style sheet we can simply specify all the css properties in a separate and save that file with .css extension and we have to import the external css file into our program.
Syntax:
mystyle.css is the file which contains all the CSS properties
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>

3)Inline Style Sheet:

In this type of style sheet we can add the properties in each and every individual tag.
Syntax:
<p style="properties">

4)Embeded Style Sheet:
In this type of style sheets we can include CSS in b/w the <head> tag and <body> tag.
Syntax:
<head>
</head>
<style type="text/css">
CSS Properties
</style>
<body>

Advantage of CSS:

By using css we can create web pages how we want.
It will provide more different styles.
Is also provide event actions.
We can also create web layout designs.

Syntax of CSS properties:

The CSS syntax is made of three parts
Selector
{
property:value;
}
selector----It is nothing but the html tag.
property---- It is nothing but the attribute we want to change.
value-- It is the value given to the attribute.

Rules for declaring:

If  the value is multiple words, put quotes around the value
eg:   p {font-family: "sans serif"}

If you wish to specify more than one property, you must separate each property with a semicolon
eg: 
p{
text-align:center;
color:red;
}

Grouping of Selectors:

You can group selectors. Separate each selector with a comma.
eg:
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 
{
color: green
}

The class Selector:

With the class selector you can define different styles for the same type of HTML element.
p.one
{
text-align: right
}
p.two
{
text-align: center
}
You can also define styles for HTML elements with the id selector. The id selector is defined as  #.
eg: #green {color: green}
