CSS
CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheet".
CSS is interesting to:
- Improve the style of a page
- Change and update the style of a web site easily
CSS offers a better control over text and paragraph than HTML for font, size, color, location, space, margin, etc.
CSS is used in three different ways:
- on a text area
example:
<P style="font : 16pt verdana"> This text is in Verdana 16 points</P>
This text is in Verdana 16 points
- on a whole page
Codes are put at the top of the page in the <HEAD > tag between the <STYLE> and </STYLE> tags
- on a whole site
The codes are put in a central file called central.css on the hosting server.
Then, a CSS tag is put whenever the style needs to apply to a page, a paragraph, a sentence or even a word.
The <LINK> tag called the central file to distribute the style instructions to the required area:
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css">
This way, a change on the central file can be distributed automatically to all pages and areas with the <LINK> tag.
Today, almost every browser fully works with CSS. Amazon.com uses CSS in addition to HTML.
