CSS: Cascading Style Sheets

Welcome to the world of HTML styling!

CSS lets you change the values of many different visual properties elements on your web page.

The Document Object Model (DOM)

When a web browser reads an HTML page, it internally reperesents it in a tree-like structure called the document object model, or DOM for short. CSS rules are applied to the DOM.

Note that the previous paragraph is a different color. It uses an inline style to set the color of the paragraph to green. The inline style over-rides the internal style rule from the head.
