Cascade Style Sheets

Cascade Style Sheets (CSS)

A CSS is made up of two parts: the selector and declaration. The selector states which tag the rule applies. The declaration stats what happens when the rule is applied.

The declaration is made up of two elements: a property and value. A declaration must end with a semicolon.

Multiple declarations can be contained in a single rule.

Multiple selectors can be contained in a single rule. A comma must be used after each selector except the last.

h1, h2, h3 {color:red; font-weight:bold;}

Multiple rules can be applied to the same selector.

h1, h2, h3 {color:red; font-weight:bold;}

h3 {font-style:italic;}
