Cascading style sheet (CSS) can be used to give HTML documents a consistent appearance. Using the same style on many linked Web pages will improve the user's experience of the site.

Use the CSS styles to specify the values of various attributes that control the appearance and other details about an element, form or other HTML defined formatting of the pages. The style attribute defined are also available when you use HTML to define the elements. There is an equivalent CSS style for many of the HTML attributes.

CSS styles can be put into <STYLE> blocks or stored in external cascading style sheet (.css) files that can be accessed through a <LINK> tag.

Note:
The .css file must be stored as Unicode. One way to do this is by opening the file in Notepad and saving it as file type Unicode
