CSS download

Do we have to download any CSS file to style our HTML file. Or we just put the name of CSS file?

You do not need to download any CSS file to style your HTML file. You can style your HTML file in three ways:

  1. Inline - Used to add CSS styling to an element within the element’s tag in the html file

      <h1 style=”padding-left: 20px; color: blue;”>some heading</h1>

  2. Internal - Used to add CSS styling inside a <style> tag inside the <head> tag in the html file

    <head>
  <style>
    h1 {padding-left: 20px;}
    body {background-color: yellow;}
  </style> 
</head>

  3. External - Uses a <link> tag inside the <head> tag of the html file to add an external CSS file to the html file. This is by far the best method to use because you can use the same css file linked into multiple html files for various pages of the same website. If you want to change the styling of an element, you then only have to change it in the one external css file which will then change the styling to all the html files the css is linked to rather than changing it in every html file as either internal or inline.

    <head>
  <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”styles.css”>
</head>
