An Embedded Stylesheet resides inbetween the <head> </head> tags. The declarations are positioned between <style> </style> tags. Embedded stylesheets are only connected to the page, and can not be used by another file like External Stylesheets can.
You can list as many declarations as you wish, but it is recommended that if you have a long list that you use an external stylesheet as a matter of organization.
Embedded Stylesheets are the 2nd level in the CSS hierarchy. These commands will over-ride an external stylesheet commands.
The Webpage is linked through a <link rel=”stylesheetname.css”> command. When the page is called by the browser it locates the .css file and formats the page according to the declarations in the stylesheet.
This is the top level stylesheet in the hierarchy of stylesheets. It can control the layout of 1 site, or multiple pages, or an entire site.
