Online Class: Cascading Style Sheets
|  | | | Stylesheets constitute the cutting edge of Web programming. They reduce to minutes the hours you spend generating HTML code. In fifteen minutes or less, you can write a style sheet that controls the properties of every element in every page on your Web site. CSS enables you to change any of those properties, or all of them, with a click of your mouse and a few key strokes. This class will teach you how to add dynamic content to your Web pages quickly and easily.
