Applying CSS to HTML
Create an HTML document: Create an HTML document using any text editor or integrated development environment (IDE).
Create a CSS file: Create a new file with a .css extension, and give it a name that you can easily recognize, such as "styles.css". You can use any text editor, such as Notepad, Atom, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code, to create and edit the CSS file.
Link the CSS file to HTML: In the head section of the HTML document, use the link tag to link the external CSS file to the HTML document.
For example:
<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> </head>
<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> </head>
Define the CSS rules: In the CSS file, define the CSS rules for different HTML elements. For example, to change the color of all h1 elements to red, you can use the following CSS code
h1 {
color: red;
}
Apply the CSS to HTML: In the HTML document, apply the CSS rules to the HTML elements by using the element selector.
For example
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
Here, the CSS rule defined for the h1 element in the external CSS file will be applied to the h1 element in the HTML document.
You can also use class selectors and ID selectors to apply CSS to specific HTML elements based on their class or ID attribute.
Here, the CSS rule defined for the h1 element in the external CSS file will be applied to the h1 element in the HTML document.
You can also use class selectors and ID selectors to apply CSS to specific HTML elements based on their class or ID attribute.
Apply CSS to class: To apply the CSS to all elements of a specific class, use the class selector with a dot prefix. For example:
<p class="my-class">This is a paragraph</p>
In the CSS file, you can define the CSS rules for the "my-class" class as follows:css
.my-class { color: blue; }
Apply CSS to ID: To apply the CSS to a specific element based on its ID attribute, use the ID selector with a hash prefix.
<p class="my-class">This is a paragraph</p>
In the CSS file, you can define the CSS rules for the "my-class" class as follows:css
.my-class { color: blue; }
Apply CSS to ID: To apply the CSS to a specific element based on its ID attribute, use the ID selector with a hash prefix.
For example
<div id="my-id">This is a div</div>
In the CSS file, you can define the CSS rules for the "my-id" ID as follows:css
#my-id { background-color: yellow; }
Remember to save both the HTML and CSS files and open the HTML file in a web browser to see the applied CSS styles.
<div id="my-id">This is a div</div>
In the CSS file, you can define the CSS rules for the "my-id" ID as follows:css
#my-id { background-color: yellow; }
Remember to save both the HTML and CSS files and open the HTML file in a web browser to see the applied CSS styles.
