Length: 1 Day

OVERVIEW

Forget the hype and learn the reality of what style sheets are, and what they can do for you. Style sheets separate style and design from HTML document formatting. This highly effective technique can make site design more precise, and site management easier.

However, style sheets do not come without a wide range of challenges, mostly born of browser and compatibility issues. In this course, you will not only learn how to use style sheets, but when it’s most important and sensible to do so.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This 1-day workshop is important for all individuals using HTML and HTML related tools for Web site development. It will be especially valuable for intranet developers. Attendees must have an understanding of basic HTML.
