What is CSS
CSS was invented by Håkon Wium Lie on October 10, 1994 and maintained
through a group of people within the W3C called the CSS Working Group.
 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 style sheets are stored in CSS files.
Advantages of CSS
 CSS saves time − you can write CSS once and then reuse same sheet in
multiple HTML pages.
 Pages load faster − If you are using CSS, you do not need to write HTML
tag attributes every time. Just write one CSS rule of a tag and apply it to all
the occurrences of that tag. So less code means faster download time.
 Easy maintenance − To make a global change, simply change the style,

and all elements in all the web pages will be updated automatically.
 Multiple Device Compatibility − Style sheets allow content to be optimized

for more than one type of device. By using the same HTML document,
different versions of a website can be presented for handheld devices such as
Tablets and smart phones or for printing.
 Global web standards − Now HTML attributes are being deprecated and it
is being recommended to use CSS. So it’s a good idea to start using CSS in
all the HTML pages to make them compatible to future browsers.
CSS Syntax
The selector points to the HTML element you want to style.
The declaration block contains one or more declarations separated by semicolons.
Each declaration includes a CSS property name and a value, separated by a colon.
A CSS declaration always ends with a semicolon, and declaration blocks are
surrounded by curly braces.

h1 {
text-align: center;
color: red;
}
How to add CSS

CSS is added to HTML pages to format the document according to information in the
style sheet. There are three ways to insert CSS in HTML documents.
1. In-line CSS
2. Internal/Page/Embed CSS
3. External CSS
Inline CSS
Inline CSS is used to apply CSS on a single line in HTML tag.
<p style="color:blue; background:#f00">Hello CSS</p>
Disadvantages of Inline CSS

o These styles cannot be reused anywhere else.
o It is not possible to style pseudo-codes and pseudo-classes with inline CSS.
o Inline CSS does not provide browser cache advantages.
Internal CSS
Internal CSS is used to apply on a document or page. It can affect all the elements
of the page. It is written inside the style tag within head section of html.
<style>
p{color:blue}
</style>
Disadvantages of Internal CSS

o Internal CSS does not provide browser cache advantages.
External CSS
External CSS is used to apply CSS on multiple pages or all pages. Here, we write all
the CSS code in a css file. Its extension must be .css for example style.css.
p{color:blue}
You need to link this style.css file to your html pages like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="folderName/cssFileName.css">
Import another CSS file in our CSS file.

@import url('folderName/cssFileName.css');
CSS Comments
Single Line Comment
p{
color: blue;
// This is a single-line comment;
text-align: center;
}
Multi-line Comment
p{
color: blue;
/* This is a
Multi-line comment;
text-align: center; */
}

CSS Selectors
Universal
The universal selector will target all elements in your HTML document.
<style>
* { color:#F00; }
</style>
<h2>Heading content</h2>
<p>Paragraph <b>content</b>...</p>
type
The type selector is used to target elements by their type.
<style>
h2 { color:#06C; }
</style>
<h2>Some Stuff</h2>
<p>My paragraph...</p>
<h2>More Stuff</h2>
compound/ group
The compound selector represents a comma separated list of selectors. It acts as a
way to target multiple elements by type, class, id, attribute or pseudo class.
<style>
h1, div, p#p1{ color: red; }
</style>
<h1>Heading Content</h1>
<p>Paragraph content ...</p>
<div>Div content ...</div>
<p id="p1">Paragraph content ...</p>

class
Prefixing the dot symbol to a selector allows us to target by class. The class selector
will target all elements with the same class name.
<style>
.myclass { background: #BFDFFF; border:#06C 1px solid; padding:10px; }
</style>
<div class="myclass">Content inside my div...</div>
<div>Content inside my div...</div>
<p class="myclass">Content inside my paragraph...</p>
<p>Content inside my paragraph...</p>
id
Prefixing the hash symbol to a selector allows us to target by id. The id selector will
target an element by its unique id.
<style>
#heading1 { border:#06C 1px solid; }
</style>
<h3 id="heading1">My heading content</h3>
<h3>My heading content</h3>

<style>
input[value~="the"] { background: pink; }
</style>
<input value="welcome to the show">
<input value="welcome to a show">
Note:ele[att~="val"]– target all elements that have the specified attribute and the
attribute value is a space separated list of values, one of which matches the
specified value.
<style>
a[href^="http"] { color: magenta; }
</style>
<a href="http://www.youtube.com">Watch Videos</a><br>
<a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a><br>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Search the web</a>

value begins with the specified value.
<style> a[href$="gov"] { color: red; } </style>
<a href="www.usa.com">Link 1</a><br>

Note: ele[att$="val"] - target elements that have the specified attribute and its
value ends with the specified value.

<style>
h2[title*="econ"] { color: orange; }
</style>

For even/odd
<style>
li:nth-child(even) {
color: red;
li:nth-child(odd) {
color: blue;
</style>
<ul>
</ul>
This creates the same even/odd logic by styling elements that are divisible by a
specified number. This means you can target all element in positions that are
divisible by 5 or any other number.

Position
CSS helps you to position your HTML element. You can put any HTML element at
whatever location you like. You can specify whether you want the element
positioned relative to its natural position in the page or absolute based on its parent
element.
Static Position
HTML elements are positioned static by default. Static positioned elements are not
affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div style="position:static;background-color:yellow;">
This div has static positioning.
</div>
</body>
</html>
Relative Position
Relative positioning changes the position of the HTML element relative to where it
normally appears. So "left:20" adds 20 pixels to the element's LEFT position.
You can use two values top and left along with the position property to move an
HTML element anywhere in the HTML document.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div style="position:relative;left:80px;top:20px;background-color:yellow;">
This div has relative positioning.
</div>
</body>
</html>

Absolute Positioning
An element with position: absolute is positioned at the specified coordinates relative
to your screen top-left corner.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div style="position:absolute; left:80px; top:20px; background-color:yellow;">
This div has absolute positioning.
</div>
</body>
</html>
Fixed Positioning
Fixed positioning allows you to fix the position of an element to a particular spot on
the page, regardless of scrolling. Specified coordinates will be relative to the browser
window.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div style="position:fixed; left:80px; top:20px; background-color:yellow;">
This div has fixed positioning.
</div>
</body>
</html>
top
The CSS top property is used to offset the top position of relative, absolute and fixed
position elements.

bottom
The CSS bottom property is used to offset the bottom position of relative, absolute
and fixed position elements.
left
The CSS left property is used to offset the left position of relative, absolute and fixed
position elements.
right
The CSS right property is used to offset the right position of relative, absolute and
fixed position elements.
Overlapping Elements
When elements are positioned, they can overlap other elements.
z-index
The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should
be placed in front of, or behind, the others).
An element can have a positive or negative stack order:
Horizontal Navigation Bar

<style>
*{margin: 0; padding: 0;}
nav{ width:100%; height: 50px; background: #c04; }
nav ul{ list-style: none; }
nav ul li a{
float: left;
line-height: 50px; color:#fff; padding: 0 50px; text-decoration: none;
nav ul li a:hover{ background: #333; }
</style>
<nav><ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>

</ul></nav>
list-style
list style : none; is used to remove bullets from unordered list.
line-height
The line-height property specifies the line height for text.
text-decoration
The text-decoration property specifies the decoration added to text.
(none|underline|overline|line-through)
CSS Multiple Backgrounds
CSS allows you to add multiple background images for an element, through
the background-image property.
The different background images are separated by commas, and the images are
stacked on top of each other, where the first image is closest to the viewer.
#example1 {
background-image: url(img-1.ext), url(img-2.ext);
background-position: right bottom, left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat, repeat;
}
#example2 {
background: url(img-1.ext) right bottom no-repeat, url(img-2.ext) left top
repeat;
}
CSS Background Size
The CSS background-size property allows you to specify the size of background
images.
The size can be specified in lengths, percentages, or by using one of the two
keywords: contain or cover.
#div1 {
background: url(img.ext);
background-size: 100px 80px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

The two other possible values for background-size are contain and cover.
The contain keyword scales the background image to be as large as possible (but
both its width and its height must fit inside the content area). As such, depending on
the proportions of the background image and the background positioning area, there
may be some areas of the background which are not covered by the background
image.
The cover keyword scales the background image so that the content area is
completely covered by the background image (both its width and height are equal to
or exceed the content area). As such, some parts of the background image may not
be visible in the background positioning area.
The following example illustrates the use of contain and cover:
#div1 {
background-size: contain;
}
#div2 {
background-size: cover;
}
Define Sizes of Multiple Background Images
The background-size property also accepts multiple values for background size
(using a comma-separated list), when working with multiple backgrounds.
The following example has three background images specified, with different
background-size value for each image:
#example1 {
background: url(img-1.ext) left top no-repeat, url(img-2.ext) right bottom
no-repeat, url(img-3.ext) left top repeat;
background-size: 50px, 130px, auto; /* img-1,img-2, img-3 */
}
Full Size Background Image
Now we want to have a background image on a website that covers the entire
browser window at all times.
The requirements are as follows:
 Fill the entire page with the image (no white space)
 Scale image as needed
 Center image on page
 Do not cause scrollbars

html {
background: url(img.ext) no-repeat center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
CSS background-origin Property
The CSS background-origin property specifies where the background image is

positioned.
The property takes three different values:
 border-box - the background image starts from the upper left corner of the
border
 padding-box - (default) the background image starts from the upper left
corner of the padding edge
 content-box - the background image starts from the upper left corner of
the content
#example1 {
border: 10px solid black;
padding: 35px;
background-origin: padding-box; /* default */
}
#example2 {
padding: 35px;
background-origin: content-box;
}
#example3 {
padding: 35px;
background-origin: border-box;
}

CSS background-clip Property
The CSS background-clip property specifies the painting area of the background.
The property takes three different values:
 border-box - (default) the background is painted to the outside edge of the

border
 padding-box - the background is painted to the outside edge of the padding
 content-box - the background is painted within the content box
#example1 {
border: 10px dotted black;
padding: 35px;
background: yellow;
background-clip: border-box; /* default*/
}
#example2 {
padding: 35px;
background: yellow;
background-clip: padding-box;
}
#example3 {
padding: 35px;
background: yellow;
background-clip: content-box;
}
CSS Gradients
CSS gradients let you display smooth transitions between two or more specified
colors.
CSS Linear Gradients

To create a linear gradient, you must define at least two-color stops. Color stops
are the colors you want to render smooth transitions among. You can also set a
starting point and a direction (or an angle) along with the gradient effect.
Syntax
background: linear-gradient (direction, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...);

Linear Gradient - Top to Bottom (this is default)
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts at the top. It starts red,
transitioning to yellow:
#grad {
background: linear-gradient(blue, yellow);
}
Linear Gradient - Left to Right
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts from the left. It starts red,
transitioning to yellow:
#grad {
background: linear-gradient(to right,blue , yellow);
}
Linear Gradient - Diagonal
You can make a gradient diagonally by specifying both the horizontal and vertical
starting positions.
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts at top left (and goes to
bottom right). It starts red, transitioning to yellow:
#grad {
background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, blue, yellow);
}
Using Angles
If you want more control over the direction of the gradient, you can define an angle,
instead of the predefined directions (to bottom, to top, to right, to left, to bottom
right, etc.).
Syntax
background: linear-gradient(angle, color-stop1, color-stop2);
The angle is specified as an angle between a horizontal line and the gradient line.
The following example shows how to use angles on linear gradients:
#grad {
background: linear-gradient(-90deg, red, yellow);
}

Using Multiple Color Stops

The following example shows a linear gradient (from top to bottom) with multiple
color stops:
#grad {
background: linear-gradient(red, yellow, green);
}
The following example shows how to create a linear gradient (from left to right) with
the color of the rainbow and some text:
#grad {
background: linear-gradient(to right,
red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo,violet);
}
Using Transparency
CSS gradients also support transparency, which can be used to create fading effects.
To add transparency, we use the rgba() function to define the color stops. The last
parameter in the rgba() function can be a value from 0 to 1, and it defines the
transparency of the color: 0 indicates full transparency, 1 indicates full color (no
transparency).
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts from the left. It starts fully
transparent, transitioning to full color red:
#grad {
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255,0,0,0), rgba(255,0,0,1));
}
Repeating a linear-gradient
The repeating-linear-gradient() function is used to repeat linear gradients:
#grad {
background: repeating-linear-gradient(red, yellow 10%, green 20%);
}

CSS Radial Gradients

A radial gradient is defined by its center.
To create a radial gradient, you must also define at least two-color stops.
Syntax
background: radial-gradient(shape size at position, start-color, ..., last-
color);
By default, shape is ellipse, size is farthest-corner, and position is center.
Radial Gradient - Evenly Spaced Color Stops (this is default)
The following example shows a radial gradient with evenly spaced color stops:
#grad {
background: radial-gradient(blue, yellow, green);
}
Radial Gradient - Differently Spaced Color Stops
The following example shows a radial gradient with differently spaced color stops:
#grad {
background: radial-gradient(red 5%, yellow 15%, green 60%);
}

CSS Transforms
CSS transforms allow you to translate, rotate, scale, and skew elements.
A transformation is an effect that lets an element change shape, size and position.
CSS supports 2D and 3D transformations.
CSS 2D Transforms
In this chapter you will learn about the following 2D transformation methods:
 translate()
 rotate()
 scale()
 skewX()
 skewY()
The translate() Function

The translate() method moves an element from its current position (according
to the parameters given for the X-axis and the Y-axis).
div {
-ms-transform: translate(50px, 100px); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: translate(50px, 100px); /* Safari */
transform: translate(50px, 100px);
}
The rotate() Method
The rotate() method rotates an element clockwise or counter-clockwise

according to a given degree.
div {
-ms-transform: rotate(20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: rotate(20deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotate(20deg);
}

Using negative values will rotate the element counter-clockwise.
div {
-ms-transform: rotate(-20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: rotate(-20deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotate(-20deg);
}
div {
-ms-transform: rotateY(-20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: rotateY(-20deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotateY(-20deg);
}
div {
-ms-transform: rotateY(20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: rotateY(20deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotateY(20deg);
}
div {
-ms-transform: rotateX(-20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: rotateX(-20deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotateX(-20deg);
}
div {
-ms-transform: rotateX(20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: rotateX(20deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotateX(20deg);
}
The scale() Method
The scale() method increases or decreases the size of an element (according to

the parameters given for the width and height).
div {
-ms-transform: scale(2, 3); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: scale(2, 3); /* Safari */
transform: scale(2, 3);
}
The following example decreases the <div> element to be half of its original
width and height:
div {
-ms-transform: scale(0.5, 0.5); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: scale(0.5, 0.5); /* Safari */

transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);

}
The skewX() Method
The skewX() method skews an element along the X-axis by the given angle.
div {
-ms-transform: skewX(20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: skewX(20deg); /* Safari */
transform: skewX(20deg);
}
The skewY() Method
The skewY() method skews an element along the Y-axis by the given angle.
div {
-ms-transform: skewY(20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: skewY(20deg); /* Safari */
transform: skewY(20deg);
}
The skew() Method
The skew() method skews an element along the X and Y-axis by the given
angles.
div {
-ms-transform: skew(20deg, 10deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: skew(20deg, 10deg); /* Safari */
transform: skew(20deg, 10deg);
}
Note: If the second parameter is not specified, it has a zero value. So, the
following example skews the <div> element 20 degrees along the X-axis:
div {
-ms-transform: skew(20deg); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: skew(20deg); /* Safari */
transform: skew(20deg);
}

CSS 3D Transforms
CSS allows you to format your elements using 3D transformations.
 rotateX()
 rotateY()
 rotateZ()
The rotateX() Method

The rotateX() method rotates an element around its X-axis at a given degree:
#myDiv {
-webkit-transform: rotateX(150deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotateX(150deg);
}
The rotateY() Method

The rotateY() method rotates an element around its Y-axis at a given degree:
#myDiv {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(130deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotateY(130deg);
}
The rotateZ() Method

The rotateZ() method rotates an element around its Z-axis at a given degree:
#myDiv {
-webkit-transform: rotateZ(90deg); /* Safari */
transform: rotateZ(90deg);
}

CSS Animations?
The @keyframes Rule
When you specify CSS styles inside the @keyframes rule, the animation will
gradually change from the current style to the new style at certain times.
To get an animation to work, you must bind the animation to an element.
/* The animation code */

@keyframes animationName {
from {background-color: red;}
to {background-color: yellow;}
}
/* The element to apply the animation to */

div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
animation-name: animationName;
animation-duration: 4s;
}
The animation-duration property defines how long time an animation should

take to complete. If the animation-duration property is not specified, no
animation will occur, because the default value is 0s (0 seconds).

@keyframes example {
0% {background-color: red;}
25% {background-color: yellow;}
50% {background-color: blue;}
100% {background-color: green;}
}

div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
animation-name: example;
}


@keyframes example {
0% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
25% {background-color:yellow; left:200px; top:0px;}
50% {background-color:blue; left:200px; top:200px;}
75% {background-color:green; left:0px; top:200px;}
100% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
}

div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
Delay an Animation
The animation-delay property specifies a delay for the start of an animation.
The following example has a 2 seconds delay before starting the animation:
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
animation-delay: 2s;
}
Set How Many Times an Animation Should Run

The animation-iteration-count property specifies the number of times an
animation should run.
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
animation-iteration-count: 3;
}
The following example uses the value "infinite" to make the animation continue
for ever:
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
Run Animation in Reverse Direction or

Alternate Cycles
The animation-direction property specifies whether an animation should be
played forwards, backwards or in alternate cycles.
The animation-direction property can have the following values:
 normal - The animation is played as normal (forwards). This is default

 reverse - The animation is played in reverse direction (backwards)
 alternate - The animation is played forwards first, then backwards
 alternate-reverse - The animation is played backwards first, then
forwards
The following example will run the animation in reverse direction (backwards):
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
animation-direction: reverse;
}
The following example uses the value "alternate" to make the animation run
forwards first, then backwards:
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
animation-direction: alternate;
}
The following example uses the value "alternate-reverse" to make the animation
run backwards first, then forwards:
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
animation-direction: alternate-reverse;
}
