CSS - Kort intro

När en webläsare läser in en CSS så kommer den att formatera dokumentet efter CSS:n.

Det finns tre sätt att lägga in en CSS
Extern - External Style Sheet
Intern - Internal Style Sheet
Inline - Inline Styles

Och nu lite Copy paste ;-)

An external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to many pages. With an external style sheet, 
you can change the look of an entire Web site by changing one file. Each page must link to the style sheet 
using the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the head section:
 
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
</head> 
 
An external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file should not contain any html tags. 
Your style sheet should be saved with a .css extension. An example of a style sheet file is shown below:
 
hr {color:sienna}
p {margin-left:20px}
body {background-image:url("images/back40.gif")} 
 
Do not leave spaces between the property value and the units! 
"margin-left:20 px" (instead of "margin-left:20px") will work in IE, but not in Firefox or Opera.

Internal Style Sheet
An internal style sheet should be used when a single document has a unique style. You define internal styles in 
the head section of an HTML page, by using the <style> tag, like this:
 
<head>
<style type="text/css">
hr {color:sienna}
p {margin-left:20px}
body {background-image:url("images/back40.gif")}
</style>
</head> 
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Inline Styles
An inline style loses many of the advantages of style sheets by mixing content with presentation. 
Use this method sparingly!
 
To use inline styles you use the style attribute in the relevant tag. The style attribute can contain 
any CSS property. The example shows how to change the color and the left margin of a paragraph:
 
<p style="color:sienna;margin-left:20px">This is a paragraph.</p> 
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Multiple Style Sheets
If some properties have been set for the same selector in different style sheets, the values will be inherited 
from the more specific style sheet. 
 
For example, an external style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:
 
h3
{
color:red;
text-align:left;
font-size:8pt
} 
 
And an internal style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:
 
h3
{
text-align:right;
font-size:20pt
} 
 
If the page with the internal style sheet also links to the external style sheet the properties for h3 will be:
 
color:red;
text-align:right;
font-size:20pt 
 
The color is inherited from the external style sheet and the text-alignment and the font-size is replaced by 
the internal style sheet.
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multiple Styles Will Cascade into One

  1. Browser default
  2. External style sheet
  3. Internal style sheet (in the head section)
  4. Inline style (inside an HTML element)

So, an inline style (inside an HTML element) has the highest priority, which means that it will override a style defined inside the <head> tag, or in an external style sheet, or in a browser (a default value).
