Short CSS Howto
What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. Stylesheets have become very important in XHTML - they determine how a site actually looks, not the XHTML source itself. This was different in HTML, where you normally did your layout using lots of nested tables.
It can be very hard to create good and compatible stylesheets, as not all features are supported by all browsers.
Just a few starting points:
- Layout Techniques: for Fun and Profit
- Self HTML (English)
- Self HTML (German)
Where does AWF store it's stylesheets?
AWF's stylesheets are located in the css/ subdirectory. If you use images in them, you can place them in css/img/.
What class names and ids do I have to use? Are there standards?
There are no special conventions concerning the use of CSS class names and ids in AWF templates and stylesheets currently. Please feel free to start a "CSS standards for AWF" project - you can use this wiki ;)
