Advanced CSS 5

Where should I save the CSS file?

External style sheets can be saved anywhere within

your Web site’s root folder. Some designers like to

create a special folder that contains all of their style

sheets, whereas others simply place them in the root.

Can I put some of my styles in an external sheet

and leave others as embedded styles?

Yes. In general, those styles that apply to all or most

of your pages are placed in the external sheet,

whereas styles that apply only to a single document

might be kept in an embedded style sheet. See “Use

the Cascade,” later in this chapter, for another

example of combining external and embedded styles.
