Css Or Html Tags - Which is better to use????

solankyno1
Dear friends,
I am new to web site designing. I am using NVU for creating my web pages. It has a option in which we can select that the editor will use CSS or it will use html tags for coding of the page. For example - If I want to make the text bold then if tag is used the code will be
QUOTE
<b>Your text</b>
and if the CSS is used the text will be
QUOTE
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Your text</span>
.
Please suggest me which option I should choose to make my web page standard to modern HTML standards.
Thanks in advance.

That depends on if you only want to change the font, if this is the case use HTML, but if you are planning a site with a large nuber of pages CSS will make formating easier, by using an external style sheet and linking to it from your pages you can instantly transform large numbers of pages by only changing one thing.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks for the help. Now I think I have to maintain proper balance in HTML tags and CSS.

i've always only used css for doing stuff that are not normally done with regular html. like i wouldn't use it for doing font colors, but i would use it if i wanted to change the background color of the text. i find its best use is to do stuff that html simply can't do.

I use CSS for everything it is possible to use it for! I can't see why anyone WOULDNT want to use it on their site. Cascading Style Sheets were introduced to provide cleaner, shorter coding and that is exactly what it does... Some people say its not "backwards compatible", but I mean, at the end of the day if you use an outdated browser its your fault really, isn't it?

I use mostly css, it's easier, u don't have to edit all pages you have when u want a new design, just edit the stylesheet..

You have to choose the CSS solution.
All presentation must be done by CSS.
Bold is only presentation, so it must be realised by CSS.

(X)HTML is only for semantic. For example you can specify that your text is important puting it between <strong> tags. That would be much more interesting than using bold, because a text client and an oral client will ignore the bold, but not the strong (for example, the oral will insist on this text...)

Now I am also agree to your view. I have now starting to learn CSS for using it in my website.

CSS is probably better...But sometimes when you want like a E.G dfferent colour bol you can not get it, it sort of has a set color,size,font fmaily etc.....
But I personally use a css code for everything because it is really good and really does make your page look 10x better.

I learnt about CSS and HTML together so I have been using it as much as and as long as
using HTML.

i use CSS and HTML on my pages writing the span tag everytime you would want a bold text is really annoying blink.gif i prefer to use the <b> </b> tags anyway why don't u try to use the CSS? the are really practic and comfortable to use instead of changing every page you can change only 1 (well.. if u used the external ) i'll leave you a page for CSS tutorials i hope u read it http://daydreamgraphics.com

I have started this thread for help regarding HTML or CSS. Now I am using CSS easily in my website www.solanky.uni.cc . CSS is very easy to use if you have a lot of pages in your site like mine. When I was using inline styles I was having a lot of problem in changing styles on every page. But now I am using external style sheets and this is extremely easy to use. Just make change in one file and all the pages are changed. Wow .....

CSS is definitely better than html...it seperates the format from content, makes programming much less cluttered smile.gif

  15. How To: Html Tables.
    I find these really useful. (8)
    If you are a novice web designer, but want your site to look advanced and proffessional, then what
    better way to do so than to use HTML tables? HTML tables are a really easy way of formatting your
    text, to make your ste look proffesional. It looks good, and its easy, what more can you ask for?
    You have to use the tag, so first lets start off with: HTML Table > /table > In
    between theese two tags, we will add the data for the table, using the tags and . =Table
    Heading (Title) =Table Data (what you want in the table) =table row (new row) So, lets ....
  16. Html Ascii Codes - A Complete List

    I was often frustrated at how, despite there being thousands of ASCII "special characters" such as

    I have created a table which lists the first 10,001 - from &#000; to &10000; I am sure
    there are many more but it is simply not feasible to create a table with many more rows as viewing
    it would put terrific strain on the browser.! You can download the file in two forms. One uses
    PHP to dynamically create the table (1KB), the other has it ready-made in pure HT....
  17. How Often Do You Use Css?
    As opposed to using simple <font> and <div> tags (7)
    CSS is basically made to make your html coding a heck of a lot easier. However, sometimes I prefer
    to use html instead of CSS since it sometimes gets frustrating to refer to the same old style sheet
    and use an old font ID you made about a week ago. I find it a lot more efficient to just type out
    the specified font color/style/size in the tag than to use an individual or for certain fonts
    you'd like to use. Sure, it's very helpful a lot of the time to use CSS in most cases, since
    it's kind of like a very simplified version of PHP but in a different case,....
