Cascading Style Sheets or CSS allow you to control the layout and look of your page easily. It is a simple mechanism for adding style, fonts, colors, and spacing to websites. CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content from document presentation.

Inline Styles

Inline styles are CSS styles that are applied to one element using the style attribute.

Internal Styles

The internal style sheet is used to define the style rules in the header of an HTML document. The style sheet is inserted between HTML tags placed within a document.

External (Linked) Style Sheets

An external, or linked style sheet can make the same changes to a website as internal styles. The properties are coded in their own .css file and then linked into the code of the website.

Class Rules

CSS class rules allow you to define a specific purpose style in the style sheet that can be triggered in the document code. Class selectors are preceded by a period, known as a flag, that identifies the rule as a class rule.
