Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
-is a style
sheet language used
for describing the look
and formatting of a document written in a
markup language.
While most often used to style web
pages and interfaces written
in HTML and XHTML, the
language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain
XML, SVG and XUL.
-CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content
from document presentation, including elements such as the
layout, colors,
and fonts. This
separation can improve content accessibility,
provide more flexibility and control in the specification of
presentation characteristics,
enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and
repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for table
less web design).
-CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different
styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by
voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen
reader)
and on Braille-based,
tactile devices. It can also be used to allow the web page to display
differently depending on the screen size or device on which it is being
viewed.
