HTML and CSS Styles
One of the major requirements or necessities of a developer working on a web-page is to make it attractive to the users. HTML5 efficiently facilitates the development of static web-pages, but to add more styles(to images, content, backgrounds, etc.), cascading style sheets CSS are used. In this HTML Tutorial, we will learn connection between HTML and CSS. So let’s start!!!!
Linking CSS to HTML
CSS is a language
used for styling the HTML document and displaying its elements as per your
preference.
Uses of HTML CSS
- HTML
elements can be made more attractive and appealing by using cascading
style sheets.
- HTML
documents can be incompatible with different devices; they can be made
compatible with the help of CSS.
- Transition
and animation effects can be added, without writing any complex JavaScript
codes.
- The same
style rules can be easily applied to various HTML elements without any
hassle.
- An element
can have dynamic states such as hover and focus that can also be styled
using CSS, which would otherwise be a tedious task.
- Multiple
pages can be styled and manipulated using a single CSS file.
- Elements
such as skew, scale, rotate, etc. can be easily transformed in 2D or 3D
state.
Advantages of HTML & CSS
- CSS can be
written once and re-used with any HTML document, thus saving time.
- These files
can be easily maintained, i.e., for a single change, just add it to the
global CSS file, and all the HTML documents linked to it will be changed
automatically.
- Search
engines can easily read the CSS files and do not have to struggle.
- CSS
outshines HTML because of its wider array of properties that can be used
to style the HTML document more attractively.
- It has a
local cache that can be used to view websites offline.
- CSS allows
compatibility over multiple devices, thus enabling HTML documents to be
rendered effectively in a desktop as well as a cell-phone.
The latest
version of CSS is CSS3 currently prevailing.
Advantages of CSS3 over CSS
- CSS3 allows
users to create responsive pages and handles media queries efficiently.
Personalized CSS properties can be applied to devices of different screen
widths.
- With new
color formats such as rgb() and hsl(), it is possible to add new color
effects and styles to the HTML document.
- The
‘box-sizing’ property of CSS3 has made the alignment easier, and CSS grids
have reduced the use of table rows and columns.
- With CSS, in
order to add animations, one had to write a code in the scripting
language. With CSS3, it is finally possible to add animations using the
inbuilt animation features such as text-shadow, thus reducing the workload
of developers.
- Every
browser supports CSS3.
- CSS3 can be
easily tested because of its modularity, thus making bug-detection easier.
