To work with embedded the Style Sheets in HTML

Cascading style sheets are embedded in the HTML using the tag. This tag has a TYPE attribute; its value is set to "text/css" by default. TYPE="text/css" tells the browser to interpret any formatting instructions enclosed in the tag as a CSS1 style sheet and build the screen display according to the rules specified within.
