CSS, Cascading Style Sheets, were created for placing elements on the web page. Before CSS, if there was anything other than text on a web page, it was placed by a clever use of tables and images. CSS style sheets place elements precisely on the page and can do so much more.
W3Schools has a tutorial that covers the basics and gives some examples in a screen that allows you to try out different scenarios.
The Zen Garden is a website that offer some insight into the beauty of CSS. Graphic artists showcase extraordinary CSS accomplishments. They are all given the same HTML and the only difference between the works is an external CSS file. Zen Garden also references a
resource guide that cover hacks, designs and tutorials. Though CSS is fully integrated there is still some
debate on wether it makes sense to switch an established site to completely CSS. The Firefox browser offers an addon called Firebug that is a brilliant tool that enables viewing real time effects of changes made to the CSS file. The CSS file is usually called when the page is loaded from a link tag within the head tag set.
<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"/><head/>
