WEB DESIGN TUTORIAL HTML THE OF PART-023 FULL WEB DESIGN HTML
At first, Thank for my all Post Readers. Today HTML Full parts 22 post.( Full Web design tutorial To Html ) This is Full HTML Web Page in the Tutorial. you can learn a full HTML web design it. I hope so. Let's start...
Today's Subject is HTML Stylesheet
HTML Stylesheet
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) describe how documents are presented on
screens, in print, or perhaps how they are pronounced. W3C has actively
promoted the use of style sheets on the Web since the Consortium was
founded in 1994.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) provide easy and effective alternatives to specify
various attributes for the HTML tags. Using CSS, you can specify a number
of style properties for a given HTML element. Each property has a name and
a value, separated by a colon (:). Each property declaration is separated by a
semi-colon (;).
Example
First let's consider an example of HTML document which makes use of <font>
tag and associated attributes to specify text color and font size:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML CSS</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><font color="green" size="5">Hello, World!</font></p>
</body>
</html>
We can re-write above example with the help of Style Sheet as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML CSS</title>
</head>
<body>
<p style="color:green;font-size:24px;">Hello, World!</p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:
You can use CSS in three ways in your HTML document:
External Style Sheet - Define style sheet rules in a separate .css file
and then include that file in your HTML document using HTML
<link> tag.
Internal Style Sheet - Define style sheet rules in header section of
the HTML document using <style> tag.
Inline Style Sheet - Define style sheet rules directly along with the
HTML elements using style attribute.
Let's see all the three cases one by one with the help of suitable examples.
External Style Sheet
If you need to use your style sheet to various pages, then it’s always
recommended to define a common style sheet in a separate file. A cascading
style sheet file will have extension as .css and it will be included in HTML files
using <link> tag.
Example
Consider we define a style sheet file style.css which has following rules:
Here we defined three CSS rules which will be applicable to three different
classes defined for the HTML tags. I suggest you should not bother about how
these rules are being defined because you will learn them while studying CSS.
Now let's make use of the above external CSS file in our following HTML
document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML External CSS</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/html/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<p class="red">This is red</p>
<p class="thick">This is thick</p>
<p class="green">This is green</p>
<p class="thick green">This is thick and green</p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:
Internal Style Sheet
If you want to apply Style Sheet rules to a single document only then you can
include those rules in header section of the HTML document using <style>
tag.
Rules defined in internal style sheet overrides the rules defined in an external
CSS file.
Example
Let's re-write above example once again, but here we will write style sheet
rules in the same HTML document using <style> tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Internal CSS</title>
<style type="text/css">
.red{
color: red;
}
.thick{
font-size:20px;
}
.green{
color:green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="red">This is red</p>
<p class="thick">This is thick</p>
<p class="green">This is green</p>
<p class="thick green">This is thick and green</p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:
Inline Style Sheet
You can apply style sheet rules directly to any HTML element
using style attribute of the relevant tag. This should be done only when you
are interested to make a particular change in any HTML element only.
Rules defined inline with the element overrides the rules defined in an
external CSS file as well as the rules defined in <style> element.
Example
Let's re-write above example once again, but here we will write style sheet
rules along with the HTML elements using style attribute of those elements.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Inline CSS</title>
</head>
<body>
<p style="color:red;">This is red</p>
<p style="font-size:20px;">This is thick</p>
<p style="color:green;">This is green</p>
<p style="color:green;font-size:20px;">This is thick and green</p>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result:
