iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 What is CSS?CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets Styles define how to display HTML elements Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files Multiple style definitions will cascade into one Styles Solve a Common ProblemHTML tags were originally designed to define the content of a document. They were supposed to say "This is a header", "This is a paragraph", "This is a table", by using tags like <h1>, <p>, <table>, and so on. The layout of the document was supposed to be taken care of by the browser, without using any formatting tags.As the two major browsers - Netscape and Internet Explorer - continued to add new HTML tags and attributes (like the <font> tag and the color attribute) to the original HTML specification, it became more and more difficult to create Web sites where the content of HTML documents was clearly separated from the document's presentation layout.To solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - the non profit, standard setting consortium responsible for standardizing HTML - created STYLES in addition to HTML 4.0. Both Netscape 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0 support Cascading Style Sheets.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Style Sheets Can Save a Lot of WorkStyles in HTML 4.0 define how HTML elements are displayed, just like the font tag and the color attribute in HTML 3.2. Styles are normally saved in files external to your HTML documents. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in your Web, just by editing a single CSS document. If you have ever tried to change the font or color of all the headings in all your Web pages, you will understand how CSS can save you a lot of work. CSS is a breakthrough in Web design because it allows developers to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once. As a Web developer you can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as you want. To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in the Web are updated automatically. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Multiple Styles Will Cascade Into OneStyle Sheets allow style information to be specified in many ways. Styles can be specified inside a single HTML element, inside the <head> element of an HTML page, or in an external CSS file. Even multiple external Style Sheets can be referenced inside a single HTML document. Cascading Order What style will be used when there is more than one style specified for an HTML element?Generally speaking we can say that all the styles will "cascade" into a new "virtual" Style Sheet by the following rules, where number four has the highest priority: Browser default External Style Sheet Internal Style Sheet (inside the <head> tag) Inline Style (inside HTML element) So, an inline style (inside an HTML element) has the highest priority, which means that it will override every style declared inside the <head> tag, in an external style sheet, and in a browser (a default value).Good lukc on mastering css!

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 29, 2005 I wouldn't say notepad is the best, although it certainly does work. I really prefer an editor with syntax highlighting and auto-indenting, among other features. Those help me write my code more easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 In css you can use fonts that are not normally accepted by html because css actually downloads the font to the client's computer and the best program that is free is notepad (i prefer notepad above all others) but FrontPage and Dreamweaver are good programs as well as trillian code pad (which does the highlights and code tidying and things like that) which is free, just do a google search on Cascading Style Sheet Programs and i am sure that you will do good on finding an appropriate program.
