W3CSS

CSS level 1 (CSS1) The W3C released the first official version of CSS in 1996. This early version included the core capabilities associated with CSS, such as the ability to format text, set fonts, and set margins. Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer 3 and 4 support Level 1. Web designers needed a way to position elements on the screen precisely. CSS1 was already released, and CSS Level 2 was still in the future, so the W3C released a stopgap solution: CSS-Positioning. This standard proposed that the parties concerned could debate for awhile before the CSS-P standard became official.

Rounded corners can help soften an otherwise sharp design, but they have been difficult to achieve using images. CSS3 includes a simple method for rounding off one or all of the corners of an element’s box: border-radius.

Working with Pseudo-classes Many HTML elements have special states or uses associated with them that can be styled independently. One prime example of this is the link tag which has link (its normal state), a visited state (when the visitor has already been to the page represented by the link), hover (when the visitor has their mouse over the link), and active (when the visitor clicks the link). All four of these states can be styled separately.

A CSS rule defines what the HTML should look like and how it should behave in the browser window. CSS rules come in three types, each with specific uses: -HTML selector.

CSS and HTML When HTML was first created, style properties were defined directly in the code. However, rather than just adding more and more tags to HTML, the W3C introduced Cascading Style Sheets to fill the design void in straight HTML, allowing the Web to become semantic in structure. For example. In HTML, the strong tag does one thing and one thing only: It makes text “stronger,” usually by making it bolder. However, using CSS, you can “redefine” the tag so that it not only makes text bolder, but also displays text in all caps and in a particular font to add more emphasis.
