ou can have CSS declarations in both an external style sheet and an embedded style sheet. In

this case, the order of the cascade specifies that the embedded styles override conflicts with

should understand that only those styles in direct conflict are overridden. As much as possible, the

browser attempts to use both the external and embedded styles together.
