Linking to an external style sheet
I'm learning about CSS in http://www.w3schools.com.
I have a question about linking pages to an external style sheet. The site provided this syntax for linking and following are my questions, <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"href="mystyle.css" /> </head> First of all, I need to know what are the properties rel and type do exactly? Secondly, the closing of the link tag /> is that XHTML?

<link rel="stylesheet" title="Main CSS" href="foo.css" media="screen" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" title="Print CSS" href="print.css" media="print" type="text/css" />

Re: Linking to an external style sheet
Just ane xample of how to link to style sheets and assign different media types etc.. They would just go in the head of your document and point to your external css files. basically rel sets the type of file as does type. i.e. type ="text/javascript" or something. As for the /> it is XHTML and is a good thing so you could do say <img src="" alt="" width="" height="" /> vs doing <img></img>. Makes the code more streamlined and eliminates the need for additional closing tags.

Re: Linking to an external style sheet
Quote:
Some tags contained information between them, so called open tags, as in <p>This is a para</p>. Others such as <b>, <img>, etc, so called close tags never had a partner tag. Everything was handled as attributes within the tag. XHTML determines that every tag should have a closing indicator but in the case of previously closed tags, this is done by using the ' />' notation, as in <b />, <img... />, etc. Note the space between the end of the tags content and the '/>'.

Re: Linking to an external style sheet
It was just an example of opening and closing tags vs />. First thing that popped into my head. I can see how it could be confusing. Andf to elaborate as stated about style switching, you would do somethign like:
<link rel="stylesheet" title="Main CSS" href="foo.css" media="screen" type="text/css" /> then <link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="Alt Main CSS" href="foo2.css" media="screen" type="text/css" /> etc....
