RE: CSS

Hi Stephen,

Hope you had a good time on your dreamweaver intro course.

"A Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) provides the ability to separate the styles and layout of a web document from the data/information. Styles such as font faces, font sizes, margins etc. can be specified in one place, then the Web pages feed off this one master stylesheet, with the styles cascading throughout the page or an entire site." - source

A simple example of a style definition is redefining an HTML tag:
h1 {
color: red;
}

Now, whenever I use the <H1> tag throughout my page, that text will be red.

I can also override the style sheet (hence the cascading effect) like this: <H1 style="color: blue;">Heading</H1> will appear blue instead of red.

To insert CSS into your page or link to a CSS file in Dreamweaver, go to Text -> CSS Styles -> New CSS Style...

You can find a whole bunch of information about CSS by searching on google and also in Dreamweaver Help.

Regards, Rich
