    External Style Sheet

                     In case of external stylesheet, the CSS styles are written in a separate file which is saved with .css
                     extension. You need to include a reference to the external style sheet file within the <LINK> element
                     inside the <HEAD> element. Syntax to include the reference of external stylesheet is:

                     <head>
                     <link rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” href=“name of style sheet”>
                     </head>
                     Where, HREF attribute contains the path of the stylesheet. For example, if you have saved the file in
                     which styles are written with the name style.css, then the code will be:

                     <head>
                     <link rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” href="style.css">

                     </head>
                     You need to give complete drive path of the stylesheet, if the file is saved at any other location. Let us

                     create a web page using the external style sheet. The first step is to create stylesheet file. Open the
                     Notepad and type the following code:

                     body{background-color:green; color:white;}
                     Now, save the file with the name style.css at any location again open a new notepad window and
                     type the following code:
                     <!DOCTYPE html>

                     <html>

                     <head>
                     <title> Using External Stylesheet</title>
                     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

                     </head>

                     <body>
                     Text with white colour and background colour is green

                     </body>
                     </html>
                     When you view the preceding web page in browser, you will get the following output:
