There are 3 basic ways to add the functionality of Style Sheets:
1. Inline - Creating the elements for each HTML Tag. This will allow the same HTML Tag to have different styles on the same page.
2. Embedding - Creating the elements on the page itself that will affect every occurrence of an HTML Tag.
3. Linking - Creating one page that defines the elements and include in the pages that you want to affect.
For
Website design services using Embedding or Linking is recommended.. The Linking Style is used when you want to use the same style on multiple pages, you can then use Embedding and/or Inline on specific pages that don't fit the design style of the Linking Sheet. <H4>Precedence and inheritance</H4> as the term Cascading Style Sheets implies, more than one style sheet can be used on the same document, with different levels of importance. Generally styles from different style sheets merge together (cascade) into a virtual style.
However, if you define conflicting styles for the same HTML element, the innermost definition--the one closest to the individual tag-wins the precedence Style Sheets follow is Inline, Embedding, and then Linking. Inline Style takes precedence over Embedding Style, which takes precedence over Linking Style. There is a fourth style sheet which is set not by the document author but by the reader and that is the browser default. Taking this style sheet into consideration the order of precedence is: Inline Style (inside HTML element), Embedding Style Sheet (inside the <head> tag), External Style Sheet and Browser default. So, an inline style (inside an HTML element) has the highest priority, which means that it will override every style declared inside the <head> tag, in an external style sheet, and in a browser (a default value).
