eiteljoh 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 The key thing to remember is that the css will save you enourmous amt of time as far as maintainability. It's also quite simple, so it's worth having a look. Really no benefits of marking with html, other than if you have a 1 page website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splehati 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 USE CSS as outside link, like in <head> section:<head<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></head>Then I open new file i editor called index.css:body { margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; background-color: #dddddd; background-image: url(background.gif);}.myowntag {font-family: Verdana, Arial;font-size: 12 pt;font-weight: bold;}here i apply new setting for predefined TAGS or for my own defined tags.This CSS I link in <head> section on every HTML document, and with thati get ONE CSS DEFINED FILE for changing design for whole set of pages of webpage...to apply specific CSS use inexample:<p class="myowntag"> blablabla </p>That's the best way to use CSS and the right way, because with this your webpage is fully optimized to not use it on evry document, but to define it ONCE and use it evrywhere and always...

N3ptUn3 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 guys, you cant really compare CSS to HTML, i use both of them in the same page, you basically have to use HTML if you use CSS. its not like comparing HTML to ASP or PHP to ASP or anything like that. i only use CSS cuz its easier to change things, so if u have a table and u want to change the color of all the text, you wouldnt have to go to each cell and type <font color>, in the CSS u could just go td {color:COLOR} and there u have it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solankyno1 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2004 I have started this thread for help regarding HTML or CSS. Now I am using CSS easily in my website http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ . CSS is very easy to use if you have a lot of pages in your site like mine. When I was using inline styles I was having a lot of problem in changing styles on every page. But now I am using external style sheets and this is extremely easy to use. Just make change in one file and all the pages are changed. Wow ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjhou 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 I use CSS for everything it is possible to use it for! I can't see why anyone WOULDNT want to use it on their site. Cascading Style Sheets were introduced to provide cleaner, shorter coding and that is exactly what it does... Some people say its not "backwards compatible", but I mean, at the end of the day if you use an outdated browser its your fault really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MatthewNg 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 CSS is much better to use. You could however have inline styles using Javascript (eg. element.style.width = "100px"). Inline styles have preference over CSS unless you use "!important" with the style. The html tags are usually for quick editing or if you don't want to add cluttered up classes, attributes to files such as <b>, <i> though it is preferable to use <span class='bold'> than <span style='font-weight:bold'> and <b>. The major advantage to use CSS instead of inline html styles is that you can change change all the element's styles that associate with that CSS rule, but inline styling is much easier to handle with Javascript.

Quatrux 4 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Well, in html4 you can use <b> <i> tags and etc. but I personally use xhtml for most of things and use the <strong> tag to make my html document, but still in the CSS file I just write what a strong tag means and how ti needs to show it, in xhtml as I know <b> tag is deprecated and not valid, but ion html5 it's a valid tag again, so you can use it without problems..the tags in HTML document displays your markup and use CSS how you want to display that html document, as it's much better to use <strong> and later in CSS classify the strong tag how you want it to be displayed in your layout rather than using <span class="bold"> or <div class="bold"> and in the CSS file .bold {font-weight:bold} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
