“Cascading” style sheets
Style instructions can be contained within an individual tag or page,
without referring to a separate style sheet.
These instructions will override those of the site's style sheet, hence
the term “Cascading Style Sheets:”
An instruction in a
page's text…
<span style=”
color:#ff0000”>
This is red text.
</span>
…overrides a style
instruction for the
page…
<html>
<head>
<style
type="text/css">
.redtext {color:
“#ff0000”}
</style>
</head>
…which overrides a style
instruction for the site.
<head>
<link rel=”stylesheet”
href=”format.css”>
</head>
<body>
