What is css?

          Cascading Style Sheets, fondly referred to as CSS, is a simple design language intended to simplify
the process of making web pages presentable. Put simply, CSS handles the look and feelpart of a
web page. With CSS, you can control the color of the text, the style of fonts, the spacing between
paragraphs, how columns are sized and laid out, what background images or colors are used, as
well as a variety of other effects.


CSS was created in language that is easy to learn and understand, but it provides powerful control
over the presentation of a document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup languages
HTML or XHTML. These markup languages contain the actual text you see in a web page — the
paragraphs, headings, lists, and tables — and are the glue of a web document. They contain the
web page’s data, as well as the CSS document that contains information about what the web page
should look like.


HTML and XHTML are very similar languages. In fact, for the majority of documents today, they
are pretty much identical, although XHTML has some stricter requirements about the type of syn-tax used.
