Question

What does it mean that the style sheets are cascading? What is the order of priority of CSS? List 5 things you can do with CSS, which cannot be done easily in HTML.

Answer 1

Cascading means that styles can fall from one style sheet to another, enabling multiple style sheets to be used on one HTML document.

The order of priority of CSS is given as:

• user agent declarations
• user normal declarations
• author normal declarations
• author important declarations
• user important declarations

Things which can be done by CSS are:

• Create a padding around HTML components
• Create a margin around HTML components
• Animate HTML tags
• Create border around HTML components
• Change the color properties and text properties (like font, size) etc for text contents.
