CSS .. Chapters 1 & 2

This web page is the Chapter-6 tutorial. I am listing links to most of the tutorials that are generally assigned at the end of each chapter. Chapter 1 is an overview of CSS and Chapter-2 teaches how to use internal and external CSS style commands.
basic.html ... another_page.html.

CSS .. Chapter 3 & 4

3-Selectors & 4-Inheritance. At this point, I began to understand, when and why to use both external and internal style sheets. The differences in browsers is brought in very early and often. There is a quickly applied style sheet (reset.css) that sets every element to a basic setting and completely cancels out the default browser differences.
