All the properties and their values are enclosed within curly braces. For example, if you want to create a
style that fills a background colour in a web page, then you need to use the background-color property
of CSS in the following manner:
body {background-color:green}
In the preceding code, body signifies the <BODY> tag, background-color is the property and green is the
value of property that will change the background colour of the web page to green.
Using CSS Style
There are three ways to use the CSS styles in HTML document which are:
Inline style sheet Internal Style Sheet External Style Sheet
Inline Style Sheet
An inline style is used to apply a unique style to a single element. It allows you to create and apply a
style directly to the element. Syntax to create an inline style is:
<element style = "property1:value1; property2:value2; … ….">
Where, element is any valid HTML tag and the style is the global attribute of HTML used by all the tags
of HTML. The style attribute contains the CSS properties and their values within double quotes. For
example:
<body style="background-color:green; color:white">
Text in white colour
</body>
Internal Style Sheet
CSS design can also be applied to an HTML document by using <STYLE> tag. This tag should be placed
inside the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags. An internal style sheet is commonly used when one web page
has a unique style. For example:
<head>
<style>
body{background-color:green; color:white;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Text in white colour
</body>
