CSS From the Ground Up: Embedded Style

In the past few articles, I’ve been discussing various forms of style sheets and how you can use Dreamweaver to create and work with them. As you’ve read along, you’ve noticed that I’ve been describing what is known as the “Cascade” within CSS. This is one of the primary concepts of CSS that helps us create a hierarchy of application for our styles.

In this article, the focus is on embedded style. While many readers will have likely used embedded style at some point, some might not know about how embedded style works within the Cascade. Some readers might also know when and where to decide to use embedded style and what the problems with using it as much as what the benefits are.

Overview

Embedded Style within the Cascade

So far, you’ve read about browser, user, and inline styles. Browser and user styles sit on opposite ends of the Cascade, with the collection of three additional style sheet types (inline, embedded, and linked) which are collectively referred to as author styles. In this article, I’ll focus on embedded style.
