CSS provides styles to HTML elements on the page. Inline styling involves usage of the style attribute in tags, and is highly discouraged. Internal stylesheets use the <style><\/em> tag and are used to declare rules for directed portions of the page. External stylesheets may be used through a <link><\/em> tag which takes an external file of CSS and applies the rules to the document. This topic covers usage of all three methods of attachment.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

External Stylesheet Use<\/h2>\n\n

Use the link attribute in the document’s head:<\/p>\n\n

<head>\n <link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"stylesheet.css\">\n<\/head><\/pre>\n\n
You can also use stylesheets provided from websites via a content delivery network, or CDN for short. (for example,
Bootstrap):<\/p>\n\n
<head>\n <link rel=\"stylesheet\"\nhref=\"https:\/\/maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com\/bootstrap\/3.3.7\/css\/bootstrap.min.css\" integrity=\"sha384-\nBVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz\/K68vbdEjh4u\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\">\n<\/head><\/pre>\n\n
Generally, you can find CDN support for a framework on its website.<\/p>\n\n
Internal Stylesheet<\/h2>\n\n
You can also include CSS elements internally by using the <style><\/em> tag:<\/p>\n\n
<head>\n <style type=\"text\/css\">\n body {\n background-color: gray;\n }\n <\/style> \n<\/head><\/pre>\n\n
Multiple internal stylesheets can be included in a program as well.<\/p>\n\n
<head>\n <style type=\"text\/css\">\n body {\n background-color: gray;\n }\n <\/style>\n <style type=\"text\/css\">\n p {\n background-color: blue;\n }\n <\/style> \n<\/head><\/pre>\n\n
Inline Style\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n
You can style a specific element by using the style attribute:<\/p>\n\n
<span style=\"color: red\">This text will appear in red.<\/span><\/pre>\n\n
\n
Note:<\/strong> Try to avoid this — the point of CSS is to separate content from presentation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
Multiple Stylesheets<\/h2>\n\n
It’s possible to load multiple stylesheets:<\/p>\n\n
<head>\n <link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"general.css\">\n <link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"specific.css\">\n<\/head><\/pre>\n\n
Note that later files and declarations will override earlier ones<\/strong>. So if general.css contains:<\/p>\n\n
body {\n background-color: red;\n}<\/pre>\n\n
and specific.css contains:<\/p>\n\n
body {\n background-color: blue;\n}<\/pre>\n\n
if both are used, the background of the document will be blue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
