External Style Sheets

Firstly, what is CSS? It stands for Cascading Style Sheets. Cascading style sheets are used to change properties of style attributes. There are many cool tricks out there, but some only work in Internet Explorer.

Create a .css file in notepad (or another text editor). You can name it anything.css but its easier to keep track of if you name it style.css and it makes sense to do so. (Save As Type: All Files makes it possible to save as .css). Please view all my other css tutorials for information on what kinds of css codes should go in this file.

Now, add this code to the header or at the top of every subpage of your website:

<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="http://YOURURL/style.css" TYPE="text/css">

That code calls the css file you uploaded, and makes the page work with the css codes in the stylesheet file.

If for some reason you need to have the css codes inside a .html page (or a .php page) you must surround your codes with the following.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- Put whatever should go in the stylesheet here, this is the css codes place. --> </style>
