Now let me introduce you to the basics of color also known as colour. Why you ask because most web designers want to know how to add color to their web page or their entire site. Now in HTML and XHTML you have two options for displaying color, which include named colors and hexadecimal codes. And in CSS, you have five options for displaying color, which include the named colors, along with the hexadecimal codes or you can use the functional RGB notation, which consists of two color value types, which are made up of a triplet of integers that are called percentage notation and integer-triplet notation. And last but not least, you can use the shorthand notation method, which was designed for CSS only. You should realize though that not every color can be represented by the shorthand notation method, I know it sucks.

Now let me show you how to add JavaScript to your web pages using the external method, which is the most widely, used method as well as the best way to add JavaScript to your web pages.

You can add JavaScript to your web pages internally or externally. I will show you the internal method first.

JavaScript, which was originally called Mocha and then LiveScript, is used to add interactivity to your web pages without learning complex programming languages. With JavaScript, you can write scripts that can display the time or add an alert box, rollovers and much more.

Now let me explain to you on how to recognize the cascade game, which the browsers play in order to determine on how to use the CSS style rules declarations.

You can also add CSS to an XML file or an XHTML file that is sent with the MIME type of application/xml, application/xhtml+xml or text/xml.

Instead of adding external style sheets with the <link> tag you can add external style sheets using the @import rule also known as @import directive or the @import at rule. The @import rule basically imports one style sheet into another.

Unlike the class attribute, which allows you to add style to any number of tags, which is known as a style class. You can also use the id selectors to add style to individual tags by including the id attribute. This type of method is known as individual styles because we can only assign one unique name to an individual tag once per web page. You can have many id selectors per web page, but each will have to have a unique name.

In CSS, you can add comments that are very much like C/C++ comments. In order to add comments in CSS you start by including a slash (/) followed by an asterisk (*), and to end the comment you will need to include another asterisk (*) followed by another slash (/).

Now you can add your styles to each individual tag by using the style attribute. The value of the style attribute will be the declarations from the declaration block but without the curly brackets or selector. You must also separate each style declaration with a semicolon (;). You cannot however place pseudo-class styles like :hover and so on or pseudo-element styles like :first-letter and so on in a style attribute. You also can’t specify a media type in a style attribute.
