CSS Introduction : Introduction
What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. They are a special sort of file used to define the styling of HTML pages. They allow for exact control of all the properties in HTML, including simple things such as text color, background colour, font size, border style, font familes, margins, padding..CSS Files can be linked externally to HTML files, sharing between a whole site of webpages, allowing you to change one file, and affect the design of the whole site.
This article will cover basic CSS syntax, ways of using CSS in your HTML, information on how Selector types work, and a common property list.
Advantages of CSS
- Increases download speed (using CSS syntax instead of images)- Centralises template, applying a standard style across a whole website.
- Properties are specified using common terms, making it easy to learn.
