Cascading Style Sheets: A Primer

One of the greatest challenges a Web designer must face is how to create content that displays the same in all browsers. There has never been a clear-cut solution to this formidable task -- until now. Programmers and designers the world over are singing the praises of Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, for its ability to provide designers complete control over how their content appears on users screens.
