External Styles are defined on the External Style Sheet, which is linked to the web page(s).
To create a link between a web page and an external style sheet, place a
<link> element inside the
<head>..</head> element of that web page. Three attributes of the
<link> element are required.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|
type | text/ css |
rel | stylesheet |
href | URL of the external style sheet |
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css />
For example create an html page home.html and add the styles for the html elements in a separate css stylesheet file style.css
