What is CSS

Definition

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used to control the appearance and layout of HTML elements on a web page. While HTML gives a webpage structure, CSS is what makes it look visually appealing.


🎯 Main Purpose of CSS

  • To separate content (HTML) from presentation (CSS)

  • To apply styles such as colors, fonts, spacing, and positioning

  • To make websites responsive and adapt to different screen sizes


🔍 Why "Cascading"?

The word “cascading” means that multiple style rules can apply, and the most specific or latest one wins. CSS uses a priority system:

  1. Inline styles (highest priority)

  2. Internal styles (in <style> tag in HTML)

  3. External stylesheets (linked via <link>)

  4. Browser default styles (lowest priority)


🎨 What Can You Style with CSS?

  • Text: font, size, color, spacing

  • Boxes: borders, padding, margins, backgrounds

  • Layouts: positioning elements, grid, flexbox

  • Animations: transitions, keyframes

  • Responsive Design: media queries for mobile/desktop
