CSS1 allows one to specify layout styles (size, color, position) and associate in flexible way with tags
|
|
Flexible placement of style information -- either in sheets (i.e. separate pages), attributes (style="..") or style statements in header of HTML page
|
|
Independence from specific scripting languages but natural link to JavaScript and works with XML and HTML
|
|
Cascading style sheets i.e. one can have a hierarchy of style definitions from general to organization specific to user specific
|
|
Example: A simple style sheet (in file "myStyle.css"): P.special { color: red; border: solid black; }
|
|
Now put a <LINK> tag in the <HEAD> to be able to access information: <LINK href="myStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
|
|
In the <BODY> tag, type: <P class="special">A special paragraph!
