Hi Hema,

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language. ...

What is CSS?

• CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets

• Styles define how to display HTML elements

• Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets

• Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem

• External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work

• External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files

• Multiple style definitions will cascade into one

Style sheets are a very powerful tool for the Web site developer. They give you the chance to be completely consistent with the look and feel of your pages, while giving you much more control over the layout and design than straight HTML ever did.

Invented in 1997, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are just now starting to be widely used among browsers and Web developers are learning to be more comfortable with them. Those of you who use HomeSite 4.0 know that they are eventually going to take the place of tags such as <FONT>, which have been deprecated in HTML 4.0.

With CSS, your HTML documents can be displayed using different output styles:

See how it works

Styles Solve a Common Problem

HTML tags were originally designed to define the content of a document. They were supposed to say "This is a header", "This is a paragraph", "This is a table", by using tag like <table> and so on. The layout of the document was supposed to be taken care of by the browser, without using any formatting tags.

As the two major browsers - Netscape and Internet Explorer - continued to add new HTML tags and attributes (like the <font> tag and the color attribute) to the original HTML specification, it became more and more difficult to create Web sites where the content of HTML documents was clearly separated from the document's presentation layout.

To solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - the non profit, standard setting consortium, responsible for standardizing HTML - created STYLES in addition to HTML 4.0.

All major browsers support Cascading Style Sheets.

Style Sheets Can Save a Lot of Work

Styles sheets define HOW HTML elements are to be displayed, just like the font tag and the color attribute in HTML 3.2. Styles are normally saved in external .css files. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in your Web, just by editing one single CSS document!

Hi Hemalatha,

CSS is Cascading Style Sheets .

It define how to display HTML elements

Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets

External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work

External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files

Multiple style definitions will cascade into one

Also styles sheets defines how html elements are to be displayed. Styles are normally saved in external .css files. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in your Web, just by editing one single CSS document!

CSS is a breakthrough in Web design because it allows developers to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once. As a Web developer you can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as you want. To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in the Web are updated automatically.

Yes we can use it in EP but i am not sure about Web DynPro.

I hope you got some idea on it.
