How CSS stylesheet can be inserted in web page ?
Now lets see that how css stylesheet can be inserted in web page. There are two method to insert css stylesheet into webpage
(1) External css and (2) Internal css
Example of External css method
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
Here CSS is created separately with extention .css and that file is called as above. This css method will decrease main file size where this css file is called. So this method is widely used. For SEO (Search Engine Optimization) view this method is best.
Example of Internal css method
<head> <style type="text/css"> h1 {color: sienna} body {color: #FFFFFF;} </style> </head>Here you can see that CSS is not created separately, but css property code is inserted directly in to the file in between tag <html> and </html>. This method is used when we want to give effect only into one file. But however if you want to get more benefit of css property then it is better to use external method.
