Internal CSS

CSS can be specified inline, internally, or externally. In this lesson, we look at the internal specification of CSS. Basically, internal specification happens between HEAD and STYLE tags as can be seen by inspecting the source for this page. There are tons of parameters that can be specified. Only a few are shown here.

For more information on CSS it is suggested that the student do some online research. There are many sources of information regarding CSS available all over the interwebs!
