CSS Styles Tutorial for Dreamweaver MX 6.0
CSS or Cascading Style Sheets determine the façade of contents on a web page by formatting its rules. They are really useful especially when maintaining web sites for the appearance is managed through just a single file. CSS styles also make your sites look better, make it more accessible and reduce the file sizes. Plus you can reuse them by just assigning the style in the class property. Add to that, the fact CSS styles can be stored in every document in an external file sheet. This provides better control and versatility.
CSS styles have 3 types; Custom CSS styles which creates a configured style and sets its characteristics, HTML Tag Styles which changes the format of a given tag and Advanced CSS Selector Styles which also configures the format but for a variety of fields –combination tags and ID attributes.
