Html Style Type

HTML style type

Created By: chatGPT

In HTML, the style attribute is used to apply CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) directly to an HTML element. This allows you to define the presentation of that element, such as its color, size, font, and other stylistic properties.

<div style="color: red; font-size: 20px;">This is a styled div.</div>

You can also apply internal CSS by utilizing the tag within the tag of your HTML document. This enables you to define styles for multiple elements without repeating the style attribute.

<html>
<head>
    <style>
        body {
            background-color: lightblue;
        }
        p {
            color: darkblue;
            font-size: 18px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <p>This is a paragraph with defined styles.</p>
</body>
</html>

For larger projects, it is more efficient to use external CSS. This means creating a separate CSS file that you can link to your HTML document, which keeps your code organized and easier to manage.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

Here’s an example of how you would select multiple elements using CSS classes and IDs in your stylesheet. Classes are reusable styles while IDs are unique to a single element.

.container {
    width: 80%;
    margin: auto;
}

#header {
    background-color: green;
    color: white;
    text-align: center;
}

Additionally, CSS includes several selectors, such as element selectors, class selectors, and ID selectors. Understanding these selectors is essential for effective styling.

h1 {
    font-size: 24px;
}

.button {
    background-color: blue;
    color: white;
}

#footer {
    font-size: 14px;
}
