WEB DESIGN PART 2

CSS: (Cascading style sheets) Print publications such as newspapers and magazines have long used style sheets - sets of rules governing page formatting, typefaces, nature of headlines etc - to give them a consistent and coherent appearance. Similarly in HTML documents, style sheets can control text formatting, colors, image placement and a many other features that determine page appearance.

Style sheets are important and useful because:

• They make it easier to ensure consistency in web site appearance
• Only a small alteration in an external style sheet is required to change the look of an entire site
• They may be required in the future as tags such as the <font> may be degraded.
