The Importance Of CSS In Web 2.0 By: Ashley Peach     There’s a lot of hype about CSS and for good reason. CSS provides a fast, clean, efficient and very powerful method of styling websites and so much more. CSS can be used for many different aspects of the web including design and functionality. Various things CSS can be used for include, font styling, web page layouts, expanding menus, roll over effects and so much more. All these things mean CSS has pushed the web into a new era creating a smarter, more efficient internet than we have ever seen before. Dynamic content and CSS styling Dynamic webpage’s created using languages such as ASP and PHP work hand in hand with CSS to provide easy to edit webpage’s. With multiple CSS files including a master or main CSS file your dynamic code can be kept short and sweet with far less filler code for you to sort through to make a simple style change. File Structures and CSS If you have a large scale website using separate CSS files per section your site will be easy to maintain, update and edit. If you were to have four sections to your site for example the home page, links page, help and a contact us page. Your CSS file structure would look like this: Master.css This file would control things that are required on all the pages of your site such as menus, footers, header, body attributes, head tags and even the basic layout. Home.css The home.css file would be used to control content specific to the home page its self such as the pages layout and specific attributes. Links.css, Help.css, Contact.css would be used to control attributes and the layout of the files they control e.g. links.css would control the relevant file such as links.php. So to sum up CSS is a fantastic web language and the future of the web itself. Learning CSS can be challenging if you have no web experience however if you have already used web based languages before than CSS can be a fun and fulfilling language to learn with many practical uses on the web today.
