In Cascading Style Sheets, a style rule is a definition which affects the presentation of HTML.
Style rule structure
The basic structure of a style rule:
selector {
property:value;
property:value
}
Elements of the style rule:
- The selector identifies which HTML element(s) will be affected.
- The property identifies the type of formatting which will be applied.
- The value sets a value for the property.
Example
Say the HTML looks like this:
<body>...</body>
The style rule below sets the background color for the body of the web page:
<style>
body { background-color: #cccccc; }
</style>
