Introduction to CSS

  • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets

  • CSS code can be embedded within HTML or saved as a separate file with a .css extension
  • Formatting instructions for an element are referred to as a rule set
  • Rules define how elements are displayed in a web browser
  • Combining and matching rules from different files is referred to as cascading

Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)

  • A language used for formatting instructions within an HTML page
  • Separates HTML content from formatting
  • CSS code can be embedded within HTML or stored in a separate file with a .css extension
  • Formatting instructions for an element are known as rule sets
  • Rule sets determine how content within an element will be displayed within a web browser
  • Combining and matching rules from different files is referred to as cascading

CSS Syntax

  • A CSS rule-set comprises a selector and a declaration block
  • Declaration blocks contain one or more declarations separated by semicolons
  • Each declaration contains a CSS property and its value, separated by a colon
  • Declarations end with a semicolon, blocks surrounded by curly braces

Multiple Properties and Selectors

  • Multiple property-value pairs for a selector are separated by semicolons within a declaration block
  • Multiple selectors can be grouped together to apply a single property
  • Multiple properties can be set for multiple selectors within a single statement

Styling HTML with CSS

  • CSS added to HTML in three ways: inline, internal, and external
  • Inline styles are applied directly within the HTML element
  • Internal stylesheets are defined within the HTML document using the style element
  • External stylesheets are separate files containing style rules linked to the HTML document

1-Inline Styles

  • Inline styles are placed directly within the HTML element
  • They're not reusable and can't be reused across multiple web pages
  • Web designers can't use style builders to create inline styles

2-Internal Styles

  • Internal stylesheets are placed within the section of an HTML document
  • They are reusable within that specific webpage
  • The type attribute of the style element specifies the content type, usually "text/css"

3-External Style Sheet

  • External styles are saved as separate .css files
  • These files contain style rules that are linked to multiple HTML pages
  • External styles offer reusability, enabling consistent styling across multiple web pages

Types of Selectors

  • Types include: group, universal, type, ID, and class selectors

1. Type Selector

2. Class Selector

  • Classes are assigned using a dot (.) before the class name
  • Multiple classes can be applied to a single element
  • IDs are unique to each element on a page
  • IDs are assigned using a hash (#) symbol before the ID name

Pseudo Classes

  • Pseudo-classes apply styles to elements based on their state, such as visited, unvisited, active or hover state
