Inline styles vs styles in CSS

Question

I know placing all your styles in a CSS file is the best thing to do as it is a lot neater.

But does it REALLY matter if the styles are inline or i

Answer 1

Storing styles in one document helps you to control on your entire project. Furthermore less code to maintain and applying changes.

Answer 2

No but it is alot easier to make changes to the css if you only have to look one place instead of all your headers/inline

One other thing, your markup looks alot cleaner if you dont have eny css/javascript inline

Answer 3

Do you mean putting your styles in the with or attaching them as 'style="x"' to your element?

Answer 4

@Etienne , there is one disadvantage doing this way , if you want to deploy any changes to production you have make a build and push it.

If you maintain everything as css , you can just push the css file changes and invalidate the load balancer cache.

I thought this is a good point to mention.
