Chapter 7: Formatting Web Pages with Style Sheets


I've mentioned Style Sheets numerous times in the previous chapters. In particular, I have told you that certain HTML elements and attributes are deprecated or not supported in XHTML, that you should use styles instead. This chapter explains what I have been talking about.

Ideally from a programming perspective you should have several separate 'layers' that make up your Website. The 'content' which is the text and images you display to the visitor, the 'markup' which is the HTML used to break that content into chunks of information that relate to each other, and the 'presentation' which is the style and formatting of how the content is displayed. Using Style Sheets to control how your Website looks helps to separate content from presentation which is a good thing. This way when you want to change the 'look and feel' of your Website, all you need to change is the StyleSheets.
