Where do I include normalize.css?

Tags:

css

Should I include it first or last among my CSS files? I'm not sure.

What's the general practice with things such as CSS resets / normalizers ?

How do I link normalize css to HTML?

The [href] attribute specifies the location of the normalize css file. In this case it inside a folder called 'css' inside the same folder as the html file you're using hence you write href = 'css/normalize. css'. The [rel] attribute specifies the relationship between your html file and the normalize.

How do I import normalize?

To start using it, add @import-normalize; anywhere in your CSS file(s). You only need to include it once and duplicate imports are automatically removed. Since you only need to include it once, a good place to add it is index. css or App.

Why should we add normalize css to our HTML document?

All browsers assign default values to specific CSS properties, and each browser sets different ones. To mitigate this inconsistency, a Normalize CSS file can be used to create a baseline for browsers across the board. Each browser has different default style rules; they target other elements and apply different values.

You would include it first. For optimal response you should do the following:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css" />
<!-- Add additional stylesheets next -->

This allows the normalized stylesheet to take effect with your other stylesheets cascading off of it.

FIRST. Respect the cascade. Normalize is a starting point, then your css can add to those attributes. Thats' the cascade.

Approach 1: use normalize.css as a starting point for your own project’s base CSS, customising the values to match the design’s requirements.

Approach 2: include normalize.css untouched and build upon it, overriding the defaults later in your CSS if necessary.
