Cascading Sheet Styles

Cascading Sheet Styles (CSS) is a mechanism to add styling and formatting to an HTML document. These attributes include font, colors, borders, and, positioning.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is responsible for defining the specifications for CSS. These specifications are targeting browsers as well as web page development tools. Unfortunately, every current browser has problems supporting all CSS attributes.

We use CSS as much as possible to streamline our development time, and, to make it easier to maintain your web site in the future. But, when we find that either of the most current versions of Internet Explorer or Netscape doesn't support a CSS attribute, we revert back to the more widely supported HTML tag and/or attribute.

We believe in the concept of using CSS for page layout, but, reality prevents us from strictly using CSS for layout. So, in our design philosophy we typically use HTML tables for the skeletal structure of a page, and, then use CSS attributes throughout the tables.
