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.

With the ‘border-radius’ property, the images and divisions can have rounded-borders, and their borders can be further styled.
