Style Sheets

Cascading style sheets are a collection of rules that define how elements and tags in an HTML page will be displayed in a browser. These rules give developers control over elements beyond that offered by standard HTML.

Cascading style sheets provides a means of rendering and displaying information. Cascading style sheets add character to a web page. They can be of 3 types, internal, external to the HTML page, and Style sheets as attributes.

External style sheets are defined outside of the HTML page, in a file of there own. They are then linked into the page using the <LINK> tag, providing reusability. Be sure to specify REL="stylesheet" so the browser will know the linked document is a sytlesheet and treat it accordingly.

Internal style sheets provide a local version of the style sheet. Usable only within the page it's defined.

Style sheets as Attributes is the least reusable rendering code. The style is embedded within a specific tag on the HTML page. This is a way of overriding a single attribute of a Cascading style sheet at the tag level. Or, simply providing one attribute used in rendering the HTML associate with the tag.
