Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used to define the presentation ("look and feel") of a document written in HTML or some other markup language.
Contents
Style sheet
See Style sheet (web design) for a discussion of style sheets.
Web page layout
CSS is fundamental to web page layout.
CSS box model
The CSS box model defines how HTML elements fills space in a web page.
Separation of concerns
Separation of concerns is a design principle which requires certain entities to take certain responsibilities, and other entities to take other responsibilities.
In web design, separations of concerns includes the separation of:
- Style sheet provide design, presentation, layout, color
- Markup tags (HTML or XHTML) provides semantic content and structure
This design approach is identified as a "separation" because it largely supersedes the antecedent methodology in which a page's markup (HTML) defined both style and structure. (For example, the font element.)
Selectors
Selectors specify which HTML elements will be selected -- and thus affected -- by a style rule.
