Embedded Style Sheets

The CSS rule is made up of a selector (the h1), one or more declarations (color: #333) inclosed in a Declaration box (everything inside the curly brackets.) The Declaration is made up of a property (color) and a value (#333).

• Rule - The pairing of a selector and a declaration block
• Declaration block - a set of declarations grouped together and surrounded by curly braces ( { } )
• Selector - Defines the element of the document that will have the declarations applied to them.
• Declaration - A property-value pair that describes how the selector will be formatted or displayed
• Property - An aspect of an element's presentation, such as its color or font-size
• Value - A descriptor defining a specific appearance of a property.

Creating sections of a page

The Div tag can be used to separate a web page into different sections that can be formatted differently. The attribute can be class or id. Ids must be unique in a document, but you can have several elements with the same class attribute.

The Value is the name of the id or class which can be referred to in a CSS rule statement

Adding styles to a document

Styles within a document should always be defined in the head section of the page, before the </head> tag.

All style rules should be enclosed in the following tags:

<style type="text/css">
</style>
