How to add CSS in HTML?

Posted by

CSS is added to HTML pages to format the document according to information in the style sheet. There are three ways to insert CSS in HTML documents.

  • Inline CSS
  • Internal CSS
  • External CSS

Inline CSS

Inline CSS is used to apply CSS on a single line or element.

Syntax

<htmltag style="cssproperty1:value; cssproperty2:value;"> </htmltag>    

Internal CSS

Internal CSS is used to apply CSS on a single document or page. It can affect all the elements of the page. It is written inside the style tag within head section of html.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>  
<html>  
<head>  
<style>  
body {  
    background-color: linen;  
}  
h1 {  
    color: red;  
    margin-left: 80px;  
}   
</style>  
</head>  
<body>  
<h1>internal  </h1>  
<p>Internal CSS is used to apply CSS on a single document or page. It can affect all the elements of the page. 
It is written inside the style tag within head section of html</p>  
</body>  
</html> 

External CSS

External CSS is used to apply CSS on multiple pages or all pages. Here, we write all the CSS code in a css file. Its extension must be .css for example style.css.

p{color:blue}

You need to link this style.css file to your html pages like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
