CSS Cheat Sheet

This is a summarized form of the CSS Tutorial.

For reference this is the CSS2 Specification .

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.
Styles define how to display HTML elements. Style sheets are collections of styles.
Multiple style sheets will cascade into a single style definition.
Styles can be specified inside an HTML element, inside the <head> element or in an external CSS file - in that order of priority.
CSS syntax is made up of three parts - selector {property: value}.
- Multiple property-value pairs may be separated by semi-colons.
- Multiple selectors must be separated by commas
- Values must be quoted if they are multiple words

A simple example

h1,h2,h3 {
text-align: center;
color: black;
font-family: "sans serif" }
