INTERNAL STYLE SHEET

Internal Style Sheet

An internal style sheet should be used when a single document has a unique style. You define internal styles in the head section by using the <style> tag, like this:

<head>

hr {color: sienna}

p {margin-left: 20px}

body {background-image: url("images/back40.gif")}

</style>

</head>

The browser will now read the style definitions, and format the document according to it. Note: A browser normally ignores unknown tags. This means that an old browser that does not support styles, will ignore the <style> tag, but the content of the <style> tag will be displayed on the page. It is possible to prevent an old browser from displaying the content by hiding it in the HTML comment element:

<head>

<!-- hr {color: sienna}

p {margin-left: 20px}

body {background-image: url("images/back40.gif")} -->

</style>

</head>
