iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 1, 2004 CSS is a very useful thing. Here is explanation. I am quoting from this website: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ CSS, is a flexible form of code designed to compliment and enhance HTML. It is used to set pre-defined styles for individual page elements, complete pages and/or web sites. Results are reflexed in more control over formatting, time savings in coding, and bandwidth used to render pages.CSS allows for the introduction of elements that are not supported by ordinary HTML tags. It can be used to format fonts, backgrounds, tables, and used in page layout. It is accomplished by defining styles for existing HTML tags, or creating new styles called "classes".It can be placed in your HTML documents in one of two ways, inline coding or an external style document. The inline CSS method is placed directly into a web page. It can be contained within the <HEAD> tags, or used within individual HTML tags, or a combination of both. Using the external method you place your styles in a single file document and link it to your pages. With this method you can set the format for a complete web site, and have only one file to edit. When the changes are made they will apply themselves to the complete site. Here is a very good introudscution to CSS: http://wendypeck.com/css101.htmland an even better one: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/CSS is really cool because for me it allowed me to edit the whole look of my website in one go and made my website soooo much easier to handle.Dreamweaver can be used for writing CSS, but basic notepad can be used to write it manually which is what I do.skyglow1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 its hard to write yourself...juz download the themes you want and install them...Not at all, I've written like a 5kb default.css file, its not hard to do, and gives you great control if you write it yourself.skyglow1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 3, 2005 i see the long lines of code...and i start to fall asleepbtw does whitespace and indentations affect .css Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 3, 2005 Well I guess you don't like long lines of code I don't think whitespace affects it, you can put a whole thing on 1 line or indent it in coding style.skyglow1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 3, 2005 No, whitespace does not affect your CSS in the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 3, 2005 No, whitespace does not affect your CSS in the least. Wich is not to say one shouldn't use some whitespace here and there to break those long lines of code up into more visually manageable portions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
