CSS <Cascading Style Sheets>
CSS provides a way to separate data (a site's content) from presentation (a site's appearance). Originally, the only way to add design elements to a web page was through the markup code itself. This mixing of data and presentation made changing the design (colors, text alignment, font size, etc.) for several web pages quite a lengthy process. CSS was adopted as a way to apply design characteristics (or styles) to different web pages and provide an easy way to redesign several web pages at once. |
