                      INTRODUCING CSS3


                 CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is used for designing or styling a web page. It handles and
                 describes how an HTML web page will be presented on a web browser. It helps save lot of time as one
                 design layout can be used to make number of web pages. The latest version of CSS is CSS 3. Earlier,
                 CSS 2 was used.
                 CSS comprises of the style rules that are interpreted by the web browser and then applied to the
                 corresponding elements in HTML web page. Syntax to create a style in CSS is:


                 selector{property1:value1; property2:value2; … …}
                 Where, selector signifies or point to an HTML tag to which a style will be applied like <BODY>. The
                 property1 is a property of CSS that is used to create a style and the value1 is the valid value of the
                 property. A semicolon should be used at the end of the property value if more than one property
                 is  used. However, you  can  skip  the  semicolon  if  only  one  property  is used.  All  the  properties with
                 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 for a single element. It allows you to create and apply a
                 style on the element. Syntax to create an inline style is:

                 <element style = "property1:value1; property2:value2; … ….">
