1972 Arnab De 10/05/2017

The Basic CSS Syntax of the CSS consists three parts

selector

HTML elements
- ID
- CLASS
property
value

These three parts are used as a colon (:) symbol is used to separate property and value in CSS.

HTML ELEMENT SELECTORS

In the following example, all the text in a paragraph is blue and right align; Write in a .css file

	P{
		color : blue;
		text-align: right;
	}

Write in a .html file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Test CSS</title>
		<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
	</head>
	<body>
		<p>
			On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. 
		</p>
	</body>
</html>

ELEMENT SELECTORS

ID selector

We can also use the id selector. It creates the id attribute of a HTML tag and selects a specific element on the page. An element of a page must have a unique id. It can use only once in a page. To declare a id selector we use # (hash) character before the name of id. Write in Style.css

#redleft{
	Color:red;
	text-align:left;
}
#blueright
{
	Color:blue;
	text-align:right;
}

Write in AllHtml.HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Test CSS</title>
		<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
	</head>
	<body>
		<p id="blueright">
			On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. </p>
			<p id="redleft">On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. 
		</p>
	</body>
</html>

use of ID Selector

The class selector

We can also use the class selector. It creates the class attribute of a HTML tag. It is used to create a group of elements on the page with the same class. The looks of the elements within a class are same. To declare a class selector we use (.) DOT character before the name of the class.
Write in Style.css

.well{
	min-height : 50px;
	padding : 19px;
	margin-bottom : 20px;
	border-left-width : thick;
	border-left-style : solid;
	width : 90%;
}
.BlueBox
{
	background-color : #D9F0FC;
	border-left-color : #0098DA;
}
.OrangeBox{
	background-color : #FDE6D7;
	border-left-color : #F37135;
}
.GreenBox{
	background-color :#E8F4ED;
	border-left-color :#00A859;
}

Write in HTML file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Test CSS</title>
		<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
	</head>
	<body>
		<p class="well">
