CSS2 (Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2) is a language that allows you to separate content and style within a document. It makes developing and maintaining a web site a much easier task. In Virtual Training Company's tutorial, author Anthony Knox introduces you to CSS2, the structure of CSS, and how to create a basic style sheet. He guides you through visual formatting, such as positioning, and into advanced visual formatting, such as height and width properties. He will show you how to work with font, text, tables, and aural style sheets, as well. To get started now, simply click one of the topics below.
