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;}

-=== Contextual Selectors ===
+== Selectors ==
-Contextual selectors use more than one tag in the selector. The tag closest to the declaration is the targeted tag. The additional tag(s) state where the target tag must be located in the markup up in order for target tag to be affected. Contextual selectors have spaces between them.

-<h1>Contextual selectors are <em>very</em> selective.</h1>
+== Tips creating styles ==
-<p>This example shows how to target a <em>specific</em> tag using the document hierarchy.</p>
+To eliminate the difference between user agents always zero out margins and padding on all elements.
-<p>Tags only need to be descendants <span>in the <em>order stated</em> in the selector</span>; other tag can be in between and the selector still works.</p>
+Example:
-</body>
+<pre>* {margin:0; padding:0;}</pre>
-</html>
-</pre>
-NOTE: The only difference between example html sheets is the style sheet that links them which is noted below for convenience.
