Difference between in-line and cascading style sheet?

Answer 1

Internal is normally called embedded CSS. It is place between the style tags which are place between the head tags on an HTML page.

Inline CSS uses the style="" attribute and styles the tags directly. It will override any previous CSS styling.

Answer 2

In-line CSS has to be added to the HTML file you are using the style for. In this manner, you can not re-use the same code unless you copy and paste it into each HTML document you wish to use it for. If you want to make a change to the style, you must make the change in every HTML document that is using it. Using a separate CSS file is preferred in most situations. In this case, you have all your style definitions in one file. Each HTML document in which you plan to use the style sheet need only contain a reference to the css file - not the style definitions themselves. In this case, if you want to change the style, you only need to edit it in one place.

Answer 3

External CSS style sheets are appropriate when the same rules are going to be used on multiple pages of the same site. Internal CSS is appropriate when the rules are only being used on that one page or your are needing override the rules of the external style sheet on just that one page. Inline CSS should be used sparingly, but the most common and appropriate usage is when you are needing to override rules located in either an internal or external CSS style sheet one time for one element on one page.

Answer 4

External CSS is link to with the link tag to allow multiple pages to use the same styles. Internal CSS is for the page only as it will either be embedded or inline CSS.

Answer 5

Both separate the content from the presentation. The internal type only works on the page it is on where the external can work on multiple pages.

Answer 6
