How can I use CSS to style multiple images differently?

Question

I am basically styling a long essay with various images scattered throughout. I would like the first image to "float: left" and the second one to "float: right". I know that I can style the images like this:

img {
float: left;
}

This makes each image have the same style. How do I style each image differently? I tried to put each image in a different div class, so that I could style them differently, but it didn't work.

I also understand, that I could style each image in the html tag, like this:

<img src="ABCD.png" alt="Raoul Hausmann's ABCD" align="left" height="300px">

I keep hearing that it is best to keep style in the external style sheet (CSS), separate from the html. Is this a case where inline styling is necessary?

Answer 1

You can give each image a class or id that will help you to define different css for each image like

<img src="" class="image1">
<img src="" class="image2">

in css file you can define

.image1
{
width:200px;
height:200px;
}
.image2
{
width:300px;
height:300px;
}
