It’s sometimes difficult to keep track of all the values that you are using in your design. It’s unlikely that CSS will ever include constants, so it will help to keep notes in an easy-to-reference location in your document.

Rounded corners can help soften an otherwise sharp design, but they have been difficult to achieve using images.

Along came Netscape Navigator and the first HTML extensions were born.
