_Introduction
Welcome!
This site is dedicated to introducing you into the broad world of CSS. Here you can discover what CSS is, why it was created, how it is used, and why it is used worldwide. To start off, I'd like to tell you that a good amount of the information on this site is also available on the WC3 School's website concerning CSS. (http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp)
Also, I'd like you to know that this site was designed and layed out using all CSS controls...NO TABLES!
A Bit of History...
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 CSS in addition to HTML 4.0.
All major browsers support Cascading Style Sheets.
