Cascading Style Sheets
  •  Anthony's CCS tutorial This tutorial uses the latest WC3 recommendation for Cascading Style Sheet level 1 and Cascading Style Sheets level 2. At present, Cascading Style Sheets level 3 is under development. Every example in this tutorial has been tested in Internet Explorer 5.5 and Netscape 6, so everything you see in this tutorial works cross browser (Internet Explorer and Netscape).

    This tutorial does not describe the use of HTML tags but only the use of Cascading Style Sheets. If you are not familiar with HTML tags you might consider visiting Anthony's HTML 4 tutorial first.
  • The definitive guide In many ways, the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) specification represents a unique development in the history of the World Wide Web. In its inherent ability to allow richly styled structural documents, CSS is both a step forward and a step backward--but it's a good step backward, and a needed one.
    To see what is meant by this, it is first necessary to understand how the Web got to the point of desperately needing something like CSS, and how CSS makes the web a better place for both page authors and web surfers
  • Style sheets level 1 This document is a W3C Recommendation. It has been reviewed by W3C (http://www.w3.org/) Members and general consensus that the specification is appropriate for use has been reached. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference from another document. W3C promotes widespread deployment of this Recommendation.
  • Web Reference tutorial. Cascading style sheets (CSS), when linked to an HTML document, define the properties of tag elements in that document. With CSS, web designers can control the look of a site from one central document. CSS is supported by Internet Explorer 3.01 or higher and Netscape 4.0.
  • Glish If you are looking for help making the transition to CSS layout (that's Cascading Style Sheets), you've come to the right place. I am cataloging here as many useful cross-browser CSS layout techniques as I can find, and some that I made up when I was bored last Thursday. All the examples on this site have been reduced to only their essential code, and you will find the source displayed on each page to hopefully make it quick and easy to understand the inner workings of the CSS. Feel free to steal all the code you find on this site, and consider linking back here on your site or in your source comments.
  • CSS Validation This is a CSS validator for Cascading Style Sheets, level 2.  You can run it on a web server, on the command line or use it in your new browser.

 Cascading Style Sheets
  • CSS ZEN Garden This site offers a demonstration of what can be accomplished visually through CSS-based design. You can select any style sheet from a list to load it into the main page

    There is clearly a need for CSS to be taken seriously by graphic artists. The Zen Garden aims to excite, inspire, and encourage participation. To begin, view some of the existing designs in the list. Clicking on any one will load the style sheet into the main page. The code remains the same, the only thing that has changed is the external .css file. Yes, really. CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document. The only way this can be illustrated in a way that gets people excited is by demonstrating what it can truly be and then you can try for yourself on your own web design.
  • Cascading Style Sheets is a means to separate the presentation from the structural markup of a web site. By applying a CSS style you have the ability to keep the structure of your document lean and fast, while controlling the appearance of the content.
  • WDG Design group Change the appearance of hundreds of Web pages by changing just one file... Influence presentation without losing visitors... All with the power and flexibility of Web style sheets.

  • Style sheet Earthweb reference Imagine a Web where there are no proprietary extensions. Where browsers compete in speed and utility, not by the number of new HTML extensions they have. Where designers have complete control over the layout and style of every element in their Web pages and one change can affect thousands of pages instantly. That's the promise of style sheets.
  • ADOBE tutorial on CSS. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used in Web page design as efficient and effective methods of defining and organizing styles for text and graphics displays on a Web page or entire site. SVG supports CSS2 definition style sheets and so can be authored using inline, embedded, and external style sheets. Everything from text attributes to layout (as in line spacing) and graphic attributes (fill and stroke properties) can be defined as styles
