Linking to an Outside Style Sheet A brief little chat about what a Style sheet is. A style sheet is something that is used to create different effects, hover links, background properties, scrollbar changes, and various other things.Or as Aaron simply put it: It's a better way of defining formatting for HTML objects, really.. A word of caution about CSS though. Not all broswers accept CSS. They don't all read it the same way, so be careful how much you rely on it. A style sheet can be inline with the original html document or it can be linked to by using the following HTML code <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css"> Okay so now that we know what it looks like let's break it down a bit. The link rel is to tell us what we're relatively linking to and it's a stylesheet. The type is to tell us what this stylesheet is and it's text/css the href like with a "a href" is top tell us where to find the document. I have my style sheet in the root directory of my site so I have the / to tell it to go to the route and then I have the name of the document style.css A style sheet must always have the extension .css |
