CSS implemention in HTML

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets, this is done primarily to externalize the ‘look and feel’ of a web page from the actual ‘data’ being presented.

There are several ways to do this…
1. External file (most common)… add the following to the <head> section of your page:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/filename.css" media="all" />

2. Inline (usually in the <head> section of every page):

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<!--
... // some stuff here.
-->
</style>

3. Inline (on individual tags):

<div style="color:red;">Red text</div>

NOTES:
1. Media types (common – though others exist!):
* screen
* print
* all

2. Guideline: always use lowercase names in your CSS, MUST start with an alpha (not numeric).
