CSS Rules
Each style rule is made up of two main parts, the selector and the declaration.
The Selector
In the example below the selector is the h1 tag.
h1{
}
Curly Brackets
The curly brackets are used to open and close each rule
h1{
}
The Declaration
The declaration is made up of a property and value. Each rule can contain more than one declaration.
h2{
font-size: 1.3em;
}
The Property
The property is the attribute you want to change.
h2{
font-size: 1.3em;
}
The Value
The value is the value you want to give to the attribute.
h2{
font-size: 1.3em;
}
Punctuation
Each declaration includes a colon after the property and a semi-colon after the value.
h2{
font-size: 1.3em;
}
