A Brief Introduction to CSS Syntax
Each statement, or rule, in CSS has three main elements: a selector, a property and a value. See below:
(1) The selector designates the html element of a page or website you wish to stylize—for instance, the html element #footer, designating the footer on Scalar pages.
(2) The property designates the style attribute of the selector you wish to stylize—for instance, the background color of the element #footer.
(3) The value specifies the style attribute of the selector you wish to style—for instance, the color red for the background of the element #footer.
Finally, the property and value are separated by a colon, terminated by a semi-colon and bounded by brackets.
