Explain briefly about Cascading Style Sheet?

Answer 1

Cascading Style SheetsCSS style sheets are blocks of code that can be embedded in a HTML page or stored in a .css file.

CSS manipulates the elements of a HTML webpage by changing the properties of the HTML elements in the page, such as BODY P or TABLE elements.


CascadingCascading or the Cascade refers to how the the final style will render, if the first block in a CSS sheet defines that all P tags will have black text and be font type Arial, then that will be the case for all P elements. But if in another block further down the page resets the P tag to have text that is green then all text in the P elements will be green. But all P tags will still have Arial type font.

Example Code:
Block 1
p {
color: #000000; /* Set to Black */
font-family: Arial;

}

Block 2
p {
color: #00FF00; /* Set to Green*/

}

And in the case that another Block sets the P tag to have a background color of Blue:

Block 3
p {
bacground-color: #0000FF; /* Set to Blue */

}

Then the final Cascade will result in the P tag being:

Final Cascade
p {
bacground-color: #0000FF; /* Set to Blue */
color: #00FF00; /* Set to Green*/
font-family: Arial;

}

Cascading Style Sheets control how a document is to be presented in a web browser or other sources that can display web content. CSS was created to separate the presentation from the content and markup. It allows you to declare a rule once and use it multiple times in the same document or on multiple documents to control the presentation.

Answer 3

Cascading Style Sheets is used to make HTML a little bit easier. Since it would take a lot of time to do one thing a lot of times on HTML, you use CSS to "do it in bulk". CSS is used to design websites (like HTML) in an easier way and more organized. Like HTML, you can change borders, background-colors, text, font, etc., and change the design of a website.
