What is CSS file?

[SwatiSood]

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are files that describe how HTML elements are displayed on the screen, paper, etc. ... The external stylesheets are stored in files with the. css extension. With the external CSS, you can include it on multiple HTML pages to update the style of those
pages.


A CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) file is a document developers use to define web pages' visual styling and formatting. CSS files are essential in web development because they separate a webpage's (HTML) content from its visual presentation, making it easier to maintain and update the design.

Web Designers and Developers write CSS rules in a CSS file, which are then applied to the corresponding HTML elements to control their appearance, including layout, colours, fonts, and animations. CSS files are saved with the .css extension and can be linked to multiple HTML pages, allowing consistent styling across a website.
CSS files are composed of various elements, including:

1. Selectors: These are used to target specific HTML elements for styling. Selectors can be element types, cl*** names, or IDs.
2. Properties: These are the specific styling attributes applied to the selected HTML elements, such as colour, font size, or background image.
3. Values: These are the specific settings for the properties, defining the appearance of the selected HTML elements.
4. Declarations are a combination of a CSS property and a value that defines the styling of an HTML element.
5. Rulesets: A combination of a selector and one or more declarations, enclosed in curly braces {}. Rulesets define the styling for the targeted HTML elements.

CSS files are powerful tools for developers. They enable them to create visually appealing and consistent web designs that can be easily maintained and updated. By using CSS, developers can efficiently control the presentation of their web pages without cluttering the HTML code with inline styling.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language such as HTML. ... CSS is designed to enable the separation of presentation and content, including layout, colors, and fonts.

On Chrome's Developer Tools tab (CTRL + SHIFT + I), go to Resources (you may have to enable Resource tracking on that page), and click on the sub-tab Stylesheets. That will show all css files loaded by that page. Please check again.

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media. CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once. External stylesheets are stored in CSS files.
