Although CSS was first introduced in the mid-1990s, there was not a natural part tool among web designers and masters until the last few years. This is unfortunate, because there are millions of poorly designed websites littered the Internet that could be easily improved by using CSS. So what is CSS? CSS is an acronym which stands for Cascading Style Sheets. The term Cascading Style Sheets means two things. First and foremost, cascading style sheets. This means that multiple style sheets can be used for a single Web page. Furthermore, the term “cascading” also refers to how a style is determined in the event that more than one rule matches a single element. The second thing implied by the name Cascading Style Sheets is the purpose of CSS is to style web pages. The purpose of HTML (or XHTML) is to define the structure of a Web page, the purpose of CSS to define presentation. The reason that so many web pages have broken layouts in different browsers is that they try to use HTML to control the structure and format of the page. The most common abuse of HTML trying to use tables as a method of presentation. Although you may be able to achieve the look you want in a web browser, your web page looks broken and distorted in many other browsers. The only time that tables should be used is to hold a number of tasks (such as results of a scientific experiment). If you do not have a legitimate use of tables on your website, you can also use CSS to style the table and make it more attractive. By taking the time to learn CSS, you will be able to create a Web page that looks much more consistent between different browsers.
