Chapter 20 Working with CSS and SiteStyles
4. Inline style, which is located inside a HTML element. This inline style has the
highest priority, meaning that it will override a style declared inside the tag,
in an external style sheet, or in a browser’s a default value.
Explaining CSS Syntax
CSS stylesheets contain rules that describe how document elements should be
displayed. A rule in CSS consists of two parts:
• Selector, which can be applied in three different ways:
• HTML elements, such as tags, tags, etc.
• elements with a specific CLASS, such as an element with the class
“content” ()
• elements with a specific ID, such as an element with the ID “warning1“ ()
• Declaration, which contains sequences of properties followed by values.
selector {property: value}
body {color: black}
In this example, body is the selector, while everything within the brackets
{color:black} is the declaration.
If the value is expressed in multiple words, it is necessary to place quotes around
the value:
p {font-family: "sans serif"}
If you wish to specify more than one property, you must separate each property
with a semicolon.
p {text-align:left;color:red}
To make the style definitions more clear, you can describe each property on a
separate line, like this:
p
{
text-align: left;
font-family: tahoma;
