Knowing that CSS literally means Cascade Style Sheets , I regularly see the term "property" being used to refer to left , width , top , background etc .
Faced with this, I had the following doubt:
Is this referral correct? If yes, then what are the "styles" referred to by the name "Style" in the acronym CSS?
Property is only one component of a style.
CSS can be understood (in a very simplified way) as a simple list of properties / values pairs applied to an HTML element.
This becomes clearer if you think of style in line. Example:
<h1 style="color:blue;text-align:center">Isto é um cabeçalho azul</h1>
Note that the sytle attribute applies a list of property / value pairs on the h1 tag.
left, width, top, background are properties.
You can only consider a style when these properties are applied to an element:
div {
left:10px;
width:100px;
top:5px;
background-color: lightblue;
}
