Cascading Style Sheets

CSS is a recommendation from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that gives authors and readers more control ove the look and layout of HTML and XML documents.

Using CSS, you can control:

• fonts, font sizes, and font colors
• line spacing and length
• margins and indents
• background images and colors       . . . and much more.

Amoung the benefits of using CSS to authors are:

• HTML code becomes much simpler and more manageable
• using relative measurements in your style sheet, you can style your documents to look good on any monitor at any resolution
• you have finer and more predictale control over presentation
• you can define the look of a site in one place, and change the whole site by changing just the one file
• people with older browsers can see your pages
• people with disabilities have better access to your pages

CSS is implemented in many browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple Safari, Konqueror, and Netscape Navigator.
