Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) it is a style sheet language that is used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language like HTML or XML.
CSS describes how elements should be displayed on a screen.
To start using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) follow these steps:
1. Create an HTML File:
This can be done using a text editor like Sublime Text or any code editor.
e.g (index.html)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
2. Create a CSS File:
Create CSS file (styles.css) in the same directory as your HTML file.
This is where you will write your CSS code.
example
style.css
body{
background: blue;
font-size: 14px;
}
3. Link CSS to HTML:
Link your CSS file to your HTML file.
add this link <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> in your html file within the head e.g <head><link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> </head>
selector{
properties: value;
}
Selectors:
Selectors target HTML elements to which you want to apply styles.
Properties:
Properties define the elements that you want to style.
Values:
Values are assigned to properties and define how the property should be applied.
example:
div{
background: blue;
color: white;
font-size: 16px
text-align: center;
}
Notice:
- You need to identify the element you want to style in your HTML page.
