An Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) is basically styles of a page within a block of text. The cascading part means that the last value for a set style will be the value taken, e.g. if at the top of a style sheet there is a value of black for the back ground colour and then white is below that, the white value will take precedence over the black.
Here is a example of styling within the tag body.
<html>
<title>Background colour</title>
<body bgcolor="#BCBCBC">
hi world
</body>
</html |
<html>
<title>Background colour</title>
<body bgcolor="#BCBCBC">
hi world
</body>
</html
And this is an example with CSS within the html code.
<html>
<title>Background colour with css</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background : #DCDCDC;
}
</style>
<body>
Hi World
</body>
</html> |
<html>
<title>Background colour with css</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background : #DCDCDC;
}
</style>
<body>
Hi World
</body>
</html>
There are many styles options within the html styling list, hopefully shall cover most of these in the future.
