What is element

An HTML element is a fundamental building block of a webpage that tells a web browser how to structure and interpret a specific piece of content. It typically consists of a start tag, content, and an end tag.

  • content.
  • closing tag.

Type of CSS

  • Inline CSS:

CSS is written directly inside the HTML tag using the style attribute.

<h1 style="color:red;">Hello</h1>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Internal CSS:

CSS is written inside the tag within the HTML file.

<head>
<style>
p{
  color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • External CSS:

CSS is written in a separate .css file and linked to HTML.
