cascading style sheets

I suggest you use dreamweaver for css. It is easy to edit. You don't need to edit each and every line with your own typing, but you can just select or choose from the options made available by the dreamweaver software.

Hmm I haven't tried using Dreamweaver for its CSS part. looks pretty cool. But I have so much CSS code and I lay it out a certain way in my css file to save space, I don't want dreamweaver changing that.

i dont think you need a style sheet....i just include it in the page

thats cos i use php to generate the content..so i have a 'layout page' and then include content.php for example

I use dreamweaver for css cos it changes the colour if ive missed something....but notepad is as good other than that.

What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
Styles define how to display HTML elements
Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets
Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem
External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work
External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files
Multiple style definitions will cascade into one
Styles Solve a Common Problem
HTML tags were originally designed to define the content of a document. They were supposed to say "This is a header", "This is a paragraph", "This is a table", by using tags like <h1>, <p>, <table>, and so on. The layout of the document was supposed to be taken care of by the browser, without using any formatting tags.

As the two major browsers - Netscape and Internet Explorer - continued to add new HTML tags and attributes (like the <font> tag and the color attribute) to the original HTML specification, it became more and more difficult to create Web sites where the content of HTML documents was clearly separated from the document's presentation layout.

To solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - the non profit, standard setting consortium responsible for standardizing HTML - created STYLES in addition to HTML 4.0.

Both Netscape 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0 support Cascading Style Sheets.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Style Sheets Can Save a Lot of Work
Styles in HTML 4.0 define how HTML elements are displayed, just like the font tag and the color attribute in HTML 3.2. Styles are normally saved in files external to your HTML documents. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in your Web, just by editing a single CSS document. If you have ever tried to change the font or color of all the headings in all your Web pages, you will understand how CSS can save you a lot of work.

CSS is a breakthrough in Web design because it allows developers to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once. As a Web developer you can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as you want. To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in the Web are updated automatically.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multiple Styles Will Cascade Into One
Style Sheets allow style information to be specified in many ways. Styles can be specified inside a single HTML element, inside the <head> element of an HTML page, or in an external CSS file. Even multiple external Style Sheets can be referenced inside a single HTML document.

Cascading Order
What style will be used when there is more than one style specified for an HTML element?

Generally speaking we can say that all the styles will "cascade" into a new "virtual" Style Sheet by the following rules, where number four has the highest priority:

Browser default
External Style Sheet
Internal Style Sheet (inside the <head> tag)
Inline Style (inside HTML element)
So, an inline style (inside an HTML element) has the highest priority, which means that it will override every style declared inside the <head> tag, in an external style sheet, and in a browser (a default value).

Notepad is the best program for css and css is not hard at all

I wouldn't say notepad is the best, although it certainly does work. I really prefer an editor with syntax highlighting and auto-indenting, among other features. Those help me write my code more easily.
