CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets

Styles define how to display HTML


elements
CSS has various levels and profiles. Each level of CSS builds
upon the last, typically adding new features and typically
denoted as CSS1, CSS2, and CSS3.
The first CSS specification to become an official W3C
Recommendation is CSS level 1, published in December
1996
CSS level 2 was developed by the W3C and published as a
Recommendation in May 1998. A superset of CSS1, CSS2
includes a number of new capabilities like absolute, relative,
and fixed positioning of elements and z-index, the concept
of media types etc.
CSS 3
CSS level 3 is currently under development. The W3C
maintains a CSS3 progress report.
 CSS Saves a Lot of Work!
 CSS defines HOW HTML elements are to be displayed.
 Styles are normally saved in external .css files. External
style sheets enable you to change the appearance and
layout of all the pages in a Web site, just by editing one
single file!

Understanding Style Rules


 A Style Rule is composed of two parts: a selector
and a declaration.
Declaration

Selector
TH {color: red;}.
 The Selector indicates the element to which the
rule is applied.
 The Declaration determines the property values of
a selector.

Understanding Style Rules


 The Property specifies a characteristic, such as color,
font-family, position, and is followed by a colon (:).
 The Value expresses specification of a property, such
as red for color, arial for font family, 12 pt for font-
size, and is followed by a semicolon (;).

Value
Property
P {color: red;}
 CSS declarations always ends with a semicolon, and declaration groups are
surrounded by curly brackets:

 p {color:red;text-align:center;}To make the CSS more readable, you can put one declaration
on each line, like this:
 Example
 p { color:red; text-align:center;
}
CSS Comments
 A CSS comment begins with "/*", and ends with "*/", like this:
 /*This is a comment*/ p
{
text-align:center;
/*This is another
comment*/ color:black;
font-family:arial;
}
 The id and class Selectors

 In addition to setting a style for a HTML element, CSS allows you to


specify your own selectors called "id" and "class".

The id Selector

 The id selector is used to specify a style for a single, unique element.


 The id selector uses the id attribute of the HTML element, and is defined with a "#".
 The style rule below will be applied to the element with id="para1":
 Example

 #para1
{
text-align:center;
color:red;
}

The class Selector


 The class selector is used to specify a style for a group of elements. Unlike the
id selector, the class selector is most often used on several elements.
 This allows you to set a particular style for any HTML elements with the same
class.
 The class selector uses the HTML class attribute, and is defined with a "."
 In the example below, all HTML elements with class="center" will be
centeraligned:
 Example
 .center
 {
 text-align:center;
 }

 In the example below, all p elements with class="center" will be


centeraligned:
 Example
 p.center {text-align:center;}
Three Ways to Insert CSS
External style sheet
Internal style sheet Inline
style

External Style Sheet


An external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to many pages. With an external style
sheet, you can change the look of an entire Web site by changing one file. Each page must link
to the style sheet using the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the head section:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
</head>
An external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file should not contain any html
tags. Your style sheet should be saved with a .css extension. An example of a style sheet file is
shown below:

hr {color:red;}
p {margin-left:20px;}
body {background-image:url("images/back40.gif");}
Internal Style Sheet

An internal style sheet should be used when a single


document has a unique style.
<head>
<style type="text/css">
hr {color:red;} p
{margin-left:20px;}
body {background-image:url("images/back40.gif");}
</style>
</head>
Inline Styles
<p style="color:red;margin-left:20px">This is a paragraph.</p>

Multiple Style Sheets


If some properties have been set for the same selector in different style sheets, the values will be
inherited from the more specific style sheet.
For example, an external style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:
h3
{ color:red;
text-
align:left;
font-size:8pt;
}
And an internal style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:
h3
{
text-align:right; font-
size:20pt;
}
If the page with the internal style sheet also links to the external style sheet the properties for h3
will be:
color:red; text-
align:right; font-
size:20pt;
The color is inherited from the external style sheet and the text-alignment and the font-size is
replaced by the internal style sheet.
 More examples
 body {background-color:#b0c4de;} h1 {background-color:#6495ed;} p
{background-color:#e0ffff;} div {background-color:#b0c4de;}

 body {background-image:url('paper.gif');}

 body
{
background-image:url('gradient2.png');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}

 body
{
background-image:url('img_tree.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

 body
{
background-image:url('img_tree.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top right;
}
in short it can be written as:
 body {background:#ffffff url('img_tree.png') no-
repeat top right;}
body {color:blue;}
h1 {color:#00ff00;} h2
{color:rgb(255,0,0);}
h1 {text-align:center;}
p.date {text-align:right;}
p.main {text-align:justify;}
A
{
text-decoration:none;
}
p.uppercase {text-transform:uppercase;}
p.lowercase {text-transform:lowercase;}
p.capitalize {text-transform:capitalize;}
p { text-
indent:50px;}
 Font Family
 The font family of a text is set with the font-family
property.
 The font-family property should hold several font names
as a "fallback" system. If the browser does not support
the first font, it tries the next font.
 p{font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;}
 p.normal {font-style:normal;}
p.italic {font-style:italic;}
p.oblique {font-style:oblique;}
 h1 {font-size:40px;} h2 {font-size:30px;} p {font-
size:14px;}
 Set Font Size With Em
 To avoid the resizing problem with Internet Explorer, many
developers use em instead of pixels.
 The em size unit is recommended by the W3C.
 1em is equal to the current font size. The default text size in
browsers is 16px. So, the default size of 1em is 16px.
 The size can be calculated from pixels to em using this
formula: pixels/16=em
 Example
 h1 {font-size:2.5em;} /* 40px/16=2.5em */ h2 {font-
size:1.875em;} /* 30px/16=1.875em */ p {font-size:0.875em;} /*
14px/16=0.875em */
 Styling Links
 Links can be style with any CSS property (e.g. color, font-family,
backgroundcolor).
 Special for links are that they can be styled differently depending on what state
they are in.
 The four links states are:
 a:link - a normal, unvisited link
 a:visited - a link the user has visited
 a:hover - a link when the user mouses over it
 a:active - a link the moment it is clicked
 Example
 a:link {color:#FF0000;} /* unvisited link */ a:visited {color:#00FF00;} /* visited
link */ a:hover {color:#FF00FF;} /* mouse over link */ a:active {color:#0000FF;} /*
selected link */

 a:link {text-decoration:none;} a:visited {text-decoration:none;} a:hover {text-


decoration:underline;} a:active {text-decoration:underline;}
 a:link {background-color:#B2FF99;} a:visited {background-color:#FFFF85;}
a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;} a:active {background-color:#FF704D;}
 ul.a {list-style-type: circle;} ul.b {list-style-type:
square;}

ol.c {list-style-type: upper-roman;}


ol.d {list-style-type: lower-alpha;}
 ul
{
list-style-image: url('sqpurple.jpg');
}
table, th, td td
{
{
height:50px;
border: 1px solid black; vertical-align:bottom;
} }

 padding:15px;

 Advantages of CSS

 CSS saves time


When most of us first learn HTML, we get taught to set the
font face, size, colour, style etc every time it occurs on a
page. This means we find ourselves typing (or copying &
pasting) the same thing over and over again. With CSS,
you only have to specify these details once for any element.
CSS will automatically apply the specified styles whenever
that element occurs.
 Pages load faster
Less code means faster download times.
 Easy maintenance
To change the style of an element, you only have to make
an edit in one place.
 Superior styles to HTML
CSS has a much wider array of attributes than HTML.
 Disadvantages of CSS:

 Browser compatibility
Browsers have varying levels of compliance with
Style Sheets. This means that some Style Sheet
features are supported and some aren't.
