What is a Cascading Style Sheet?
Simply defined, a Cascading Style Sheet (.css) is a collection of formatting
definitions that affects the appearance and function of web page
elements. CSS styles can be used to format text, images, headings,
tables,
and functionality.
A single style sheet can pre-designate the look and functionality
for an entire web site.
This is what we have
done with the pima.gov web site. We created a style sheet called
pimagov.css which sets the format for all the text, layout, and graphics
found in the pima.gov site.
Pima.gov Style Sheet
Your site must have a copy of the pimagov.css style
sheet in the main directory for your pages to display properly. The template
pages should automatically reference pimagov.css .
If your page does not link to the style sheet, use Dreamweaver's Property
Inspector Palette to link to it as shown below.
Or, if you would prefer code level editing:
<head>
< title>Pima.gov Web Resources</title>
< link href="pimagov.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
< /head>
< body>
For more information on how pimagov.css works
and how to utilize it, go to the style sheet
defined page.
