- A Cascading Style Sheet is a set of rules that specify how a HTML document should be presented.
- Cascading Style Sheets are used to format HTML. You should have at least a basic understanding of HTML before starting to learn CSS.
There are three types of style sheet: external, internal, and inline. Cascading Style Sheets get their name from the hierarchy assigned to them. The inline style sheet has the highest priority when formatting the HTML, followed by the internal style sheet, and finally the external style sheet. This means that if there are conflicting values in an inline style sheet and an external style sheet for example, only the style defined within the inline style sheet will be applied (the rest of the external style sheet will be applied as normal however).

Indeed, if applied as outlined in one of my articles from 2006 ( CSS - Weight-Loss for your Code), Cascading Style Sheets can substantially cut down the amount of code needed to present a web page in a polished and professional manner.

Best Web Site Designs - The Importance of Color
By: Brian McGregor, Thu May 24th, 2007
I wonder if you knew that visitors to your website form an instant opinion? And they form it about you and your offer. This instant opinion is created subconsciously. It happens automatically within the visitors mind. You might wonder why this happens. It matters not a jot how clever the text is on your page. You can have paid an expensive professional to produce your copy for you. And yet your visitor will still form their instant opinion without even reading a single word of your costly copy.
