Preface

to 90's-era workarounds, web builders have greater control over a web site's design and spend less time editing and maintaining that design. CSS also extends beyond the traditional web design to design and control the look of a web page when it's printed.

CSS is easy to use: it doesn't demand any special hardware or software. The basic requirements are a computer, a modern browser like Mozilla or Internet Explorer for Windows (to name a few), and your favorite web page editor. A web page editor could be anything from a simple text editor like Window's Notepad or Macintosh's SimpleText to a full-fledged WYSIWYG tool like Macromedia Dreamweaver in code view.
