Introduction To CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to format and style web pages. It allows web developers to define text styles, page layouts, and other design elements in a CSS file that can then be applied across multiple web pages. CSS helps create uniform styles across a website so the design only needs to be defined once in the CSS file rather than in each individual HTML page. It also makes it easy to globally change styles by editing the single CSS file rather than multiple HTML pages.

CSS

Stands for “Cascading Style Sheet.” Cascading style sheets are used to format the layout of Web
pages. They can be used to define text styles, table sizes, and other aspects of Web pages that
previously could only be defined in a page’s HTML.

CSS helps Web developers create a uniform look across several pages of a Web site. Instead of
defining the style of each table and each block of text within a page’s HTML, commonly used styles
need to be defined only once in a CSS document. Once the style is defined in cascading style sheet, it
can be used by any page that references the CSS file. Plus, CSS makes it easy to change styles across
several pages at once. For example, a Web developer may want to increase the default text size
from 10pt to 12pt for fifty pages of a Web site. If the pages all reference the same style sheet, the
text size only needs to be changed on the style sheet and all the pages will show the larger text.

While CSS is great for creating text styles, it is helpful for formatting other aspects of Web page
layout as well. For example, CSS can be used to define the cell padding of table cells, the style,
thickness, and color of a table’s border, and the padding around images or other objects. CSS gives
Web developers more exact control over how Web pages will look than HTML does. This is why most
Web pages today incorporate cascading style sheets.
