Where can CSS codes be placed in a web page?


Where can CSS codes be placed in a web page?
CSS codes can be placed in couple of ways:
(a).Current HTML Page
(b). External file saved with .css extension
(a).Current HTML page.
There are three important places where CSS code can be easily placed inside current HTML page.
  1. It can be inserted  in the HEAD section

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Page title goes here</title>


    <style type="text/css">
    selector {
      property1:value;
     property2:value;
    }
    </style>

    </head>
    <body>
    ... Page cotent ...
    </body>
    </html>

2.In a <style> tag 
<style type="text/css">

selector {
  property1:value;
 property2:value;
}
</style>

3.Inside the HTML element, with "style" attribute.


<p style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;">This paragraph has used style attribute 
of tag p.</p>

(b). External file saved with .css extension.

When the CSS code is written in an external file, the CSS code is written in the same manner, but without the <style> tag.

Rule Set of CSS file


CSS-based style sheets contain  list of statements , this list of statements is also called Rule Set.
  A rule set in in fact combination of a selector and a declaration block. This block usually has an opening and closing braces i.e.’{‘ and ‘}’  like c language.  The block can have style properties and their values.
