    Study Notes

    CSS Basics Introduction

    • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) separate web site content from style.
    • XHTML files arrange content, while CSS handles presentation (fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc.)

    Internal Stylesheet

    • CSS code placed within <head> tags of an XHTML file.
    • Each XHTML file contains the CSS code needed for its style. This means changes require editing each file accordingly.
    • Useful for single-page styling or when different pages have varying styles.
    • Example code included.

    External Stylesheet

    • Separate CSS file (.css extension).
    • No (X)HTML in the file; only CSS code.
    • Link to the external CSS file in the <head> section of every XHTML file you want to style.
    • This makes it easier to maintain styles for multiple pages, because edits are only made to one file.
    • Example code included using <link> and @import methods.

    Cascading Order

    • Inline styles (inside XHTML elements)
    • Internal stylesheets (inside <head> tags)
    • External stylesheets

    Users with Disabilities

    • External stylesheets allow users with disabilities to customize the site by adjusting text size or color.
    • Users have different preferences.

    Power Users

    • Stylesheets are beneficial for manipulating styles and reading web documents.
    • This is useful for web developers and advanced users who need to swap or change styles within the site.

    Browser Issues

    • Different browsers will render and display CSS differently, so this must be considered and accounted for.
