What are Cascading Style Sheets and how are they used?
Style sheets describe how documents are presented on screens, in print, or perhaps how they are pronounced. By attaching style sheets to structured documents on the Web (e.g. HTML), authors and readers can influence the presentation of documents without sacrificing device-independence or adding new HTML tags. Cascading Style Sheets were developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Style sheets have been an W3C activity since the consortium was founded and has resulted in the development of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The easiest way to start experimenting with style sheets is to find a browser that supports CSS1. The definitive document on CSS, from the W3C: http://www.w3.org/Style/css.
