Getting Started: CSS

CSS or Cascading Style Sheets link to HTML coding and make your website visually appealing. The primary reason why is CSS is seperate from HTML is to allow the separation of document content from document presentation. For example, the same HTML file can be designed multiple ways for various methods of use.

The style system breaks rules up into four primary categories:

  1. ID Rules: Consists of those rules that have an ID selector as their key selector
  2. Class Rules: Has a class specified as its key selector
  3. Tag Rules: If no class or ID is specified as the key selector, the next option is the tag category
  4. Universal Rules: All other rules fall into this category
