Cascading Style Sheets
- You can move styles from an internal style sheet to an external style sheet.
- You manipulate the styles using the CSS Styles panel located on the right portion of the screen.
- You may edit the properties given to a particular style in the properties below the listed rules.
- You can use CSS to manipulate many individual portions of your code on your site.
- When working with multiple pages destined to look similar, use an external style sheet to handle the common rules.
- A page can have more than one style sheet attached/linked to it.
- Style sheets make pages look a lot more pleasing to the eye and reduces your coding considerably.
- It's a good idea, when working with Dreamweaver, to save your CSS file to the same directory as your other assets.
- Remember that while a style sheet may define specific properties to given XHTML tags, you can override them with a style sheet on a tag-to-tag basis.
- When using an external style sheet, Dreamweaver will make any changes across all pages the style sheet is linked to with a simple change.
Cascading Style Sheets are used to change the appearance of elements in a web page and/or website. It can be used to define a style for an entire site, or a single page, or to override a defined rule. The use of Cascading Style Sheets makes web design simpler, cleaner, and better to look at.
