What are the ways to include style sheet rules in an HTML document
To include stylesheet rules, use the <style> element or style attribute or even external stylesheet using <link>.
The <link> element can be used to include an external style sheet file in your HTML document.
An external style sheet is a separate text file with .css extension. You define all the Style rules within this text file and then you can include this file in any HTML document using <link> element.
Here is the syntax of including external CSS file:
<head> <link href = "..." media = "..." /> </head>
The following are the attributes of a <link> element:
Attribute | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Type | text/css | Specifies the style sheet language as a content-type (MIME type). This attribute is required. |
Href | URL | Specifies the style sheet file having Style rules. This attribute is a required. |
media | screen tty tv projection handheld braille aural all | Specifies the device the document will be displayed on. The default value is all. This is an optional attribute |
Let us say the style is new.css:
h1, h2 { color: #36C; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: .4em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-transform: lowercase; }
Now you can include this file new.css in any HTML document as follows:
<head> <link new = "mystyle.css" media = " all" /> </head>
