The basics of Cascading Style Sheets

-
Cascading
This part describes the complex or not so complex factors of cascading or inheriting styling within an element or elements -
Style
Meaning the styling of single or multiple elements in one or more "HTML" element(s) -
Sheet(s)
This is naturally only a name for the document where the information is stored. The sheet or document is not the only place where styles can be defined (discussed here)
Styles are defined in the form of "rules" and the user agent (UA) that understands these rules implements them. The styling tells the user agent what to do with elements found within the document when it comes across them when producing a web page.
