Introduction
This tutorial explains what Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are, why they can be useful and how you can use them today on your website. The only prerequisite for the tutorial is knowledge of HTML and a little experience building a web site.

This tutorial is probably most useful when viewed with a browser that supports CSS. Almost all recent browsers support style sheets, however the extent and capability on how they support differs slightly. Older versions of browsers definitely have trouble with stylesheets. You should check how your pages look on as many browsers and versions as possible.
What can you do to help web standards?

This tutorial does not cover dynamic HTML which uses style sheets and JavaScript for various dynamic "special effects" such as animation.

You can view the source code of any of these HTML pages by using your browsers "View Source" menu item. One of the best ways to learn is by seeing examples.
