How to include External CSS in an HTML Document ?
Adding External CSS in an HTML document is achieved using the <link>
element in the <head>
section. This approach allows you to separate your HTML content and styling. Here are some important points:
- Establishing Connection (rel attribute): The <link> element uses the “rel” attribute to show how the HTML document is connected to the linked thing.
- Identifying Resource Type (type attribute): The “type” attribute specifies what kind of data is linked. For CSS files, it’s set to “text/css,” telling that it’s a style sheet.
- Locating the File (href attribute): The href attribute holds the address or web link to the external CSS file. Make sure it accurately points to where your CSS file is located.
Syntax
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
