2.2. CSS

• Short for Cascading Style Sheets.
• CSS enables modifying the visual behaviour of the HTML tags.
• Allows sites that are friendlier to people with disabilities.
• Facilitates having a more consistent look and feel within the site.

CSS Colours, Fonts, Etc.

• A wise use of them can save you a lot of frustration.
• Generally, changing the look and feel of the scroll-bars and other browser controls is a bad idea.
• Specifying the font sizes in pixels will cause them to not be resizable in MSIE. (an MSIE bug).
• Don't pick colours that are hard to distiniguish.
• Try not to make links unrecognizable.
• Use each tag for its logical purpose. (the site should also look good with CSS disabled.)
