Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)Making Web Design Easier

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML.CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation, including elements such as the colors, fonts and layout. 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.

CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print or by voice. While the author of a document typically links that document to a CSS stylesheet, readers can use a different stylesheet, to override the one the author has specified.CSS specifies a priority scheme to determine which style rules apply if more than one rule matches against a particular element. Priorities or weights are calculated and assigned to rules, so that the results are predictable. The CSS specifications are maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

CSS has various levels and profiles. Each level of CSS builds upon the last, typically adding new features. Level 1 supports font, color, attributes, alignment of text, margin and unique identification of groups of attributes Level 2 supports relative and fixed positioning of elements, concept of media types support for aural style sheets and bidirectional text, and new font properties such as shadows. Level3 is under development.

A few advantages of using CSS in Web Design are flexibility, state-wide consistency, bandwidth and page reformatting. Few disadvantages are inconsistent browser support and control of an element shape.
