Style sheet links

[Furlongs]

How exactly do style sheet links work? I am working in Frontpage and I have assigned my pages to my main page, but unsure how the style sheet links will make changes. Any input?

If you do a search for CSS, you will find many many articles on style sheets.

But a basic explanation....

Instead of putting formatting (colour,fonts, etc) in your html page, you are instead assigning a class or id to each tag as an attribute.
Example:
<p class="paragraph1"></p>
instead of...
<p font face="verdana" size="2" color="#ffffff"></p>

So, you have taken all the excess code out of your html page, & have it able to be called on for use (even with other tags, and other pages) in another file.

At the top of your page you are calling a style sheet to be loaded. When the page loads, it calls from the .css file (the stylesheet) the class or id to apply into that particular area of the html page.

Hope this helps .
