Pulling The
Monster
Out From
Under The Bed
As you probably already know,
CSS is a distant cousin to the Boogey
Man and lives under the beds of webmasters which explains why many of
us spend
so many hours on the computer in a constant state of sleep deprivation
and
caffeine intoxication.
For our peace of mind and
health, we will yank the CSS Monster out
from under the bed and into the blinding light so we can overcome our
fear and
hopefully be able to enjoy a full nights rest knowing that the CSS
Monster is
not so ugly and can actually be our friend, if we'll let it.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS),
was brought about by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), and not by evil programmers with too much time on
their hands
as originally believed, to develop a standard which could be
interpreted by
different browsers. This became a necessity as Microsoft and Netscape
battled
for world domination and kept adding html attributes which were only
understood
by their browser. Great for them, bad for us.
