With CSS, content is separated from styling of documents. HTML is used to deliver content while CSS is used to deliver all the formatting. The basic form of style sheets contains three parts: Selector, Property, and Value.
The CSS3 transform property lets you translate, rotate, scale, or skew any element on the page. The value of the transform property is one or more transform functions, separated by spaces, which is applied in the order they are provided.
CSS3 provides the ability to create native radial and linear gradients, as well as include multiple background images on any element.
If you are introduced to the website world, you must have heard the three letter word - CSS. It is not one word, but short form of three words. The full form os CSS is Cascading Style Sheets.

Borders provide visual separation between elements on a page. You can add borders around just about anything in HTML and there are a few border styles to choose from. Borders are added with the border CSS property.
You can change the color of the background using CSS, or use a background image. Background colors and background images can be applied to the entire page or to individual elements. Changing background colors on individual elements helps to add highlight and color to certain areas of the page.
Links can be styled differently depending on what state they are in. There are four links states.
