HTML and CSS Basics Explained

HTML is not case sensitive but XHTML is. HTML tags don't need to be closed properly but XHTML tags do. CSS can be applied directly using the style attribute, through an embedded <style> tag, or externally via a <link> tag. Selectors are used to target specific elements or tags to style. The <div> tag is a block level element and <clear> is used to start a new line when clearing floats.
