CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) have been around for a while now, and act as a complement to plain old HTML files. Style sheets allow Professional website design to separate HTML code from formatting rules and styles. It seems like many HTML beginners' under-estimate the power and flexibility of the style sheet. In this article, I'm going to describe what cascading style sheets are, their benefits, and two ways to implement them.

Cascading Style Sheets…that's what! They're what paint is to canvas, what topping is to ice cream… they complement HTML and allow us to define the style (look and feel) for our entire site in just one file!

Cascading style sheets were introduced to the web development world way back in 1996. They get their name from the fact that each different style declaration can be "cascaded" under the one above it, forming a parent-child relationship between the styles.

They were quickly standardized, and both Internet Explorer and Netscape built their latest browser releases to match the CSS standard (or, to match it as closely as they could).
