Abstract

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) refers to a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification that, in the W3C’s own words, provides “a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g., fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents” (http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/). The concept is simple, but as any web developer will tell you, CSS can be a Marlboro-smokin’, tumbleweed-kickin’, maverick cowboy when it comes to cor-ralling HTML. In other words, CSS is rugged and powerful, and does a great job at making HTML behave. Obviously, this is a good thing. But CSS can also be a bit hard to work with, which makes sense when you’re dealing with a stubbly, saddle-sore buckaroo.
