I missed 1 question in a code challenge today. When using inline styling in HTML, do we call that style tag or style attribute?

The question was: "The <style> tag can be placed in...?" It had following answers: a. Only <body> b. Both <body> & <head> c. Only <head> d. None of the mentioned tags My choice was (C) & when i reviewed the answers i found out that the answer is option (B). Help me understand.

The <style> tag is typically placed in the <head> section of an HTML document. However, the <style> tag can also be used inline, by placing it directly inside an HTML element's opening tag. were you looking for this?

Yes, as snehil said, you can place <style> tag in the body. Try to put style in the body yourself to see that it works.

So when we put style tag inside body is it still called inline or internal?

When it is placed in the body it is called an inline style. There are 3 types of styles. Inline - by using the style attribute inside HTML elements Internal - by using a <style> element in the <head> section External - by using a <link> element to link to an external CSS file Example inline: <h1 style="color:blue;">A Blue Heading</h1>
