TIPS

What does the type attribute do?

The type attribute instructs the browser that the

style has been written in plain text and is using

CSS. Currently, no other options exist, but adding

the attribute now future-proofs your document: If

another option is developed later, future browsers

will not have to guess what your page uses.

Does the style sheet have to appear at the end

of the head section?

No. The style can be placed anywhere within the

head. It is traditionally placed toward the bottom

of the section, but that is not a requirement.
