What is CSS?
Cascading Style Sheets, fondly referred to as CSS, is a simple design language intended to simplify the
process of making web pages presentable.
What are advantages of using CSS?
Following are the advantages of using CSS −
• CSS saves time − You can write CSS once and then reuse same sheet in multiple HTML pages.
You can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as you want.
• Pages load faster − If you are using CSS, you do not need to write HTML tag attributes every
time. Just write one CSS rule of a tag and apply it to all the occurrences of that tag. So less code
means faster download times.
• Easy maintenance − To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in all
the web pages will be updated automatically.
• Superior styles to HTML − CSS has a much wider array of attributes than HTML, so you can
give a far better look to your HTML page in comparison to HTML attributes.
• Multiple Device Compatibility − Style sheets allow content to be optimized for more than one
type of device. By using the same HTML document, different versions of a website can be
presented for handheld devices such as PDAs and cell phones or for printing.
• Global web standards − Now HTML attributes are being deprecated and it is being
recommended to use CSS. So its a good idea to start using CSS in all the HTML pages to make
them compatible to future browsers.
• Offline Browsing − CSS can store web applications locally with the help of an offline
catche.Using of this, we can view offline websites.The cache also ensures faster loading and
better overall performance of the website.
• Platform Independence − The Script offer consistent platform independence and can support
latest browsers as well.
What are the components of a CSS Style?
A style rule is made of three parts −
• Selector − A selector is an HTML tag at which a style will be applied. This could be any tag like
<h1> or <table> etc.
• Property − A property is a type of attribute of HTML tag. Put simply, all the HTML attributes
are converted into CSS properties. They could be color, border etc.
• Value − Values are assigned to properties. For example, color property can have value either red
or #F1F1F1 etc.
What is type selector?
Type selector quite simply matches the name of an element type. To give a color to all level 1 headings −
h1 { color: #36CFFF; }
What is universal selector?

Rather than selecting elements of a specific type, the universal selector quite simply matches the name of
any element type −
* { color: #000000; }
This rule renders the content of every element in our document in black.
What is Descendant Selector?
Suppose you want to apply a style rule to a particular element only when it lies inside a particular element.
As given in the following example, style rule will apply to <em> element only when it lies inside <ul>
tag.
ul em { color: #000000; }
What is class selector?
You can define style rules based on the class attribute of the elements. All the elements having that class
will be formatted according to the defined rule.
.black { color: #000000; }
This rule renders the content in black for every element with class attribute set to black in our document.
Can you make a class selector particular to an element type?
You can make it a bit more particular. For example −
h1.black { color: #000000; }
This rule renders the content in black for only <h1> elements with class attribute set to black.
What is id selector?
You can define style rules based on the id attribute of the elements. All the elements having that id will be
formatted according to the defined rule.
#black { color: #000000; }
This rule renders the content in black for every element with id attribute set to black in our document.
Can you make a id selector particular to an element type?

ou can make it a bit more particular. For example −
h1#black { color: #000000; }
This rule renders the content in black for only <h1> elements with id attribute set to black.
What is a child selector?
Consider the following example −
body > p { color: #000000; }
This rule will render all the paragraphs in black if they are direct child of <body> element. Other
paragraphs put inside other elements like <div> or <td> would not have any effect of this rule.
What is an attribute selector?
You can also apply styles to HTML elements with particular attributes. The style rule below will match all
the input elements having a type attribute with a value of text −
input[type = "text"]{ color: #000000; }

The advantage to this method is that the <input type = "submit" /> element is unaffected, and the color
applied only to the desired text fields.
How to select all paragraph elements with a lang attribute?
p[lang] : Selects all paragraph elements with a lang attribute.
How to select all paragraph elements whose lang attribute has a value of exactly "fr"?
p[lang="fr"] - Selects all paragraph elements whose lang attribute has a value of exactly "fr".
How to select all paragraph elements whose lang attribute contains the word "fr"?
p[lang~="fr"] - Selects all paragraph elements whose lang attribute contains the word "fr".
How to select all paragraph elements whose lang attribute contains values that are exactly "en", or begin
with "en-"?
p[lang|="en"] - Selects all paragraph elements whose lang attribute contains values that are exactly "en",
or begin with "en-".
What are the various ways of using CSS in an HTML page?
There are four ways to associate styles with your HTML document. Most commonly used methods are
inline CSS and External CSS.
• Embedded CSS − The <style> Element: You can put your CSS rules into an HTML document
using the <style> element.
• Inline CSS − The style Attribute: You can use style attribute of any HTML element to define
style rules.
• External CSS − The <link> Element: The <link> element can be used to include an external
stylesheet file in your HTML document.
• Imported CSS − @import Rule: @import is used to import an external stylesheet in a manner
similar to the <link> element.
How CSS style overriding works?
Following is the rule to override any Style Sheet Rule −
• Any inline style sheet takes highest priority. So, it will override any rule defined in
<style>...</style> tags or rules defined in any external style sheet file.
• Any rule defined in <style>...</style> tags will override rules defined in any external style sheet
file.
• Any rule defined in external style sheet file takes lowest priority, and rules defined in this file will
be applied only when above two rules are not applicable.
What is the purpose of % measurement unit?
% - Defines a measurement as a percentage relative to another value, typically an enclosing element.

What is the purpose of cm measurement unit?

cm − Defines a measurement in centimeters.
div {margin-bottom: 2cm;}
What is the purpose of em measurement unit?

em − A relative measurement for the height of a font in em spaces. Because an em unit is equivalent to the
size of a given font, if you assign a font to 12pt, each "em" unit would be 12pt; thus, 2em would be 24pt.
p {letter-spacing: 7em;}
What is the purpose of ex measurement unit?

ex − This value defines a measurement relative to a font's x-height. The x-height is determined by the
height of the font's lowercase letter.
p {font-size: 24pt; line-height: 3ex;}

p {word-spacing: .15in;}
What is the purpose of mm measurement unit?

mm − Defines a measurement in millimeters.
p {word-spacing: 15mm;}

pc − Defines a measurement in picas. A pica is equivalent to 12 points; thus, there are 6 picas per inch.
p {font-size: 20pc;}
What is the purpose of pt measurement unit?

pt − Defines a measurement in points. A point is defined as 1/72nd of an inch.
body {font-size: 18pt;}
What is the purpose of px measurement unit?

px − Defines a measurement in screen pixels.
p {padding: 25px;}
What is the purpose of vh measurement unit?

vh − 1% of viewport height.
h2 { font-size: 3.0vh; }
What is the purpose of vw measurement unit?

vw − 1% of viewport width.
h1 { font-size: 5.9vw; }
What is the purpose of vmin measurement unit?

vmin 1vw or 1vh, whichever is smaller.
p { font-size: 2vmin;}
In how many formats can you specify a CSS color?

You can specify your color values in various formats. Following table lists all the possible formats −
Format Syntax Example
Hex Code #RRGGBB p{color:#FF0000;}
Short Hex Code #RGB p{color:#6A7;}
RGB % rgb(rrr%,ggg%,bbb%) p{color:rgb(50%,50%,50%);}
RGB Absolute rgb(rrr,ggg,bbb) p{color:rgb(0,0,255);}
keyword aqua, black, etc. p{color:teal;}
There is the list of 216 colors which are supposed to be most safe and computer independent colors. These
