Where CSS can exist physically in a HTML file

Question

I am learning CSS. I am having difficulty understanding it conceptually. I have a question about where CSS can exist physically in a HTML file. I think the following are the (at least the common) uses of CSS in terms of where it can exist in the body. Explicit use of styles as class and id attributes in elements Inline style using the style attribute in elements Style tags (in the body) I know that style tags in the body is not common and that in the body HTML 5 only supports style tags with the scoped attribute. I know that type selectors in CSS within style tags in the header can affect the specified element(s) logically but I am only asking about physical presence within the body . Does that list specify (generally) everywhere that CSS can exist physically in a HTML file?

CSS is a language. Yes there is no CSS tag. There is no C# in a C# program and there is no CSS in CSS. CSS is just an acronym to describe the language. You say there is no CSS tag but saying there is no CSS tag is like saying there is not C# statement or method in a C# program. Do you understand what Inline CSS is? In HTML Inline CSS is specified in style attributes in HTML elements. Do you understand that? The value of style attributes is CSS (the CSS language). That is one place that the CSS language can be in the body. Another place that CSS can exist is as class names specified in the class attribute in HTML elements. The class attribute specifies a CSS class.

No i am not comparing CSS to C# i actually tried to gives you an example of Namespace what my moto is to make you understand that the behaviour of Namespace is same as the behaviour of CSS.It's an logical container. I visited your link and the answer of your question i already given you in my first reply that their is no CSS tag like html tag It's just an Naming given W3 consortiumnothing else. And what ever style we are using that all comes under CSSbut css originally doesn't exit rather all it's styling attribute exit like font-sizecolorand etc. Hope this make sense.

I have a web page that explains my question see: http://simplesamples.info/simplesamples.info/CSS/Where%20CSS%20Exists.aspx That shows what I mean by: Explicit use of styles as class and id attributes in elements Inline style using the style attribute in elements Style tags (in the body) You are right there is no CSS tag anywhere. Yes I am familiar with C# but in C# classes have methods but CSS classes cannot have methods. In C# only declarations (such as using the class keyword ) can inherit multiple interfaces but every definition (instance) inherits exactly the same as every other instance of the class. In CSS class instances (such as in the class attribute ) can inherit multiple classes. In other words when you compare CSS to other languages there are some really big differences.

If i am not wrong U are asking for where is the physical existance of CSS if so then To answer this question CSS full form Cascading Style Sheet that's the answer for this Question.It's just like a sheet which contain all the styling property. It's nothing like that you can find CSS tag in html page rather then you have all the tags which comes under CSS. If you are familar with C# programming language then the best example for your Question is Namespace used in C# Namespace have not any physical existance but it's an logical container like folder. So like that CSS is container which contains different styling atrribute inside it. Hope i tried to answer your questionif it's make sense then reply.
