INTRODUCTION OF CSS

CSS stands for “Cascading Style Sheets” it is a simple designing language which developed to simplify the process of making web pages as more presentable.

CSS handles format and design of a web page for example we can control the color of text, change the style of fonts and maintain spacing between paragraphs.

CSS is easy to learn and understand but it provides powerful control over the presentation of an HTML document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup languages HTML or XHTML.

Advantages of CSS

Easy to maintain − To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in all the web pages will be updated automatically.

Multiple Device Compatibility − Style sheets allow content to be optimized for more than one type of device like Notebook, Cell Phone, etc.

Global web standards − Now HTML attributes are being deprecated and it is being recommended to use CSS. So it’s a good idea to start using CSS in all the HTML pages to make them compatible to future browsers.
