There are Mainly three types of CSS
- Inline style sheet Or embedded styles
- Internal style sheet
- External style sheet
| Different CSS style linking | |
|---|---|
| Internal Stylesheet | An internal stylesheet holds the CSS code for the webpage in the head section of the particular file. This makes it easy to apply styles like classes or id's in order to reuse the code. The downside of using an internal stylesheet is that changes to the internal stylesheet only effect the page the code is inserted into. |
| External Stylesheet | The External Stylesheet is a .css file that you link your website to. This makes it so that what ever you change in the .css sheet, will effect every page in your website. This prevents you from having to make many code changes in each page. This is for "global" site changes. |
| Inline Styles | The Inline style is specific to the tag itself. The inline style uses the HTML "style" attribute to style a specific tag. This is not recommended, as every CSS change has to be made in every tag that has the inline style applied to it. The Inline style is good for one an individual CSS change that you do not use repeatedly through the site. |
Internal CSS Stylesheet
When creating a stylesheet internally in the web page, you will need to use the <style></style> HTML tags in the Head section of your webpage. All the code for the Internal CSS stylesheet is contained between the
<head></head> section of your websites code. Below is an example of what an Internal stylesheet looks like.<head>
<style type="text/css">
h1 {color:blue;}
h2 {color:red;}
p {color:green;}
</style>
</head>
External CSS Stylesheet
When using an external stylesheet you must reference the stylesheet in the HTML page that is using it. You would add the code below to your HTML document to reference a stylesheet in the same location as the HTML page called "style.css". You can upload the "style.css" page can be located anywhere in your files. You can name your stylesheet whatever you like and link to as many as you like. You can simply link to it in your head section and every edit your make to the "style.css" sheet will be globally changed through out the site. Below is what text code looks like.<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/support/style.css" /> </head>
Inline CSS Styles
The inline style uses the HTML "style" attribute. This allows CSS properties on a "per tag" basis. The following is an example of how the inline style is used.<p style="color:red;font-size: 18px">This is a paragraph!</p>This inline style will change the color of the paragraph to red and make the font size 18 pixels.
