Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language specifically made for illustrating the appearance of various parts of a web page. CSS gives option to control the text color, fonts style, inter- paragraph spacing, columns sizing and layout, background images or colors and many other visual effects. CSS is used to style web pages, developed in HTML or XHTML
The major advantage of CSS is to customize the style of an entire website without changing each page individually.
W3C laid out details for a style sheet language to separate the visual appearance of a web page from its content and in 1994, Cascading HTML Style Sheets was proposed. CHSS became CSS and in December 1996 the CSS level 1 Recommendation was published. Three more CSS speciļ¬cations have been published by the W3C of which CSS 2 became a recommendation followed by CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 is an upcoming recommendation.
