Cascading Style Sheets CSS syntax From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML Learn how to write a cascading style sheet style. A CSS style has the syntax: selector { property : value ; } CSS Selectors Selectors are the way that you define what is going to be styled and what isn't. There are three basic types of selectors: type selectors - that select a specific tag to style class selectors - that select elements with an assigned class id selectors - that select the element on the page with that specific ID Grouping CSS Selectors You can apply the same style to multiple selectors through grouping. CSS Shorthand There are some CSS properties that can affect multiple styles at once. These are called shorthand properties. They are used to speed download and lessen maintenance. CSS Comments You can also comment CSS to provide information for future designers or just remind yourself what you meant when you built the styles.
