CSS - Controlling styles with CSS

Cascading Style Sheets

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, they can be used to control the presentation of HTML elements on a users screen. A good introduction to CSS and the reasons it first came to be used can be found on the w3school.com website under the section, Introduction to CSS.

Here is a useful thread from sitepoint.com, a popular online forum, giving links to a few good tutorials. If you don't want to read the thread for yourself, here are the links anyway. I have followed some of these tutorials myself and they are very useful.

• cs.maxdesign.com - Learn how to float elements in CSS2
• quirksmode - Freelance web developer with javascript and css tutorials and tricks
• alistapart.com - One of my favourite web development sites with great tutorials and useful code samples

In the future all sites will be made this way and nested tables will be a thing of the dim and distant past... long live the semantic web.
