Explain how HTML files access CSS

In this blog I am going to be explain how HTML files access CSS and how they work together. I am going to write some information about both of them and explain the purpose of both of them, I am them going to finish the blog with a comparison of the two and that will explain how the two will work together in website development.

HTML

HTML stands for Hypertext Mark-up Language, HTML is designed for the creation of website pages and information that is used on the website, HTML is the basic language that is used by programmers to create WebPages, and the files are saved as HTML files (.HTM and .HTML). Websites have tags that are used to create the websites, every website needs tags in order to create the website, HTML tags are used to create different websites and without the tags the website will not be able to be completed. To create a HTML file simply open a text editor document, create your document and save the file as a HTML file, once you have done this your document can be viewed on the internet as its own page. The purpose of HTML is used to create the website and to contain the information that is used on the website. For example if the website doesn’t have HTML involved then the website will be a complete mess and the information will be all over the place, HTML is what contains and controls the information that is used on the website so that it looks professional and so people can actually view the page without any issues such as not being able to read the information.

CSS

CCS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, CSS is also used in every website that is create and is used a lot of the development of the website. CSS is what creates the style of the web page. For example CSS is what controls the colour of the text or background to make the web page more colour so it attracts the viewers attention, CSS uses its own coding for the web pages because it involves different objectives for the WebPages. There are three ways that CSS applies to HTML, Inline, Internal or embedded and external. Inline only affects the elements that it is applied to. Internal or embedded only affects the elements in a single file and external is linked to an unlimited number of files.

Compare and contrast

HTML and CSS need each other to be able to create a whole professional looking website. HTML without CSS will look unprofessional to the viewers and will also look boring and not entertaining. CSS without HTML will just look like a lot of colours all over a web page without any text for the viewer to read which will also look unprofessional. HTML is used to create the text of the page and CSS is what creates the colour of the page, a webpage needs both of these to be properly completed.
