DAY 2- CSS

What is CSS?

  • CSS is the language we use to style a Web page.
  • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
  • CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media
  • CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once
  • External stylesheets are stored in CSS files

*CSS Syntax *:

  • A CSS rule consists of a selector and a declaration block:
  • The selector points to the HTML element you want to style.
  • The declaration block contains one or more declarations separated by semicolons.
  • Each declaration includes a CSS property name and a value, separated by a colon.
  • Multiple CSS declarations are separated with semicolons, and declaration blocks are surrounded by curly braces.

The CSS Box Model

  • In CSS, the term "box model" is used when talking about web design and layout.
  • The CSS box model is essentially a box that wraps around every HTML element.
  • Every box consists of four parts: content, padding, borders and margins.
