Inline Style Sheet
An inline style is used to apply a unique style for a single element. The style attribute an element
allows you to create and apply a style on the element. Syntax to create an inline style is:
<element style = "property1:value1; property2:value2; … ….">
where the element is any valid HTML tag and style is the global attribute of HTML used by all
the tags in HTML. The style attribute contains all 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 into a 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>
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>
