either use an image hosted online (via a URL).
Let Our image name in image.jpg
Using Body Tag element
Write this in your code in body tag
<body background=”image.jpg”>
Q4. With the help of sample code, highlight different methods to incorporate CSS code in a HTML webpage.
Ans. There are three ways/methods to incorporate CSS code on HTML page.
1. Inline CSS
Any CSS attribute that we want to incorporate can be added using a HTML tag (like the ones, we have
covered in the last section) and incorporated in the body section.
Example Code
1. <p style="color:red; font-size:40px;
2. font-style:italic; text-align:center;">
3. My Teaching Academy
4. </p>
2. Embedded (Internal)CSS
Instead of assigning styles for every heading and other component at the time of its first occurrence in the
code, a better approach is to outline all the styles in the header under the tag-pair of 'style' as shown in fig-13. This
way, all the presentation related CSS code is separated and do not indulge with the already written HTML code.
Additionally, change in one line in the CSS section will be reflected throughout the respective components.
Example Code
1. <head>
2. <title>Main Page</title>
3. <center>
4. <img src="mat-logo.jpg" alt="matlogo.jpg">
5. </center>
6. <style>
7. <body color olive: }
8. h2 { color: red; font-size:30px; font-style: italic; text-align: center; }
9. </style>
10. </head>
3. External CSS
Alternatively, a file with extension'.css' can be made and all relevant CSS code according to your schema can be
present there. Once, the contents of HTML are finalized, jus attach the CSS file in the head portion of HTML by
passing the link. External CSS are used with large projects, like in commercial purposes.
<link rel="mystylesheet" href="my_own_SS.css" />
(You can also See answer from Page 99-100 Topic: Cascading Style Sheet(CSS))
Q5.Sketch steps and provide code to apply border and color to a table in a webpage.
Ans. Adding Border and color to a table
