[Discussion] OT: Web Design CSS

[Krampetz at aol.com]

Stan:   CSS can be added at any (or all) of three levels to  any web page. 
          At an individual  HTML tag,  within the page,   or Include a CSS 
template  page.
 
           I've avoided  page developer tools as it was taking me more time 
to fight with
           them when I  *knew* what *I* wanted, but it would do it 
differently (wrongly!)
 
           If you are  using a page developer program,  it's a bear to go 
back and retrofit
           CSS to  it.   You're very likely to perturb some of the developer 
programs  expectations
           and you could  wind up spending more time fighting to get CSS in.  
   Also,  later on
           that page  developer program will likely refuse to work with that 
'strange' embedded
           code  you've hand set, or break the page completely.
 
           If you can't  find a page developer that includes CSS,  you'd 
really be better  off
           taking time  to learn HTML well enough that you can code both as 
needed.   
           I've found  that you can build your own at 20% (or less) of size 
the developer gives
           you, and very  little additional coding time.

I'm  looking for two things. 

1. a explanation of how CSS actually works.  Yeah, I see that there is an 
Index page, but 
what's in the index vs what's  in the sub-pages? If the Style is the same on 
all pages and 
only the text  or inserted graphic is changed....why is so much stuff from 
the index  
repeated in each subpage?

2. I have Moz's NVU page developer. Is  there a CSS developer tool that's 
decent? (I tried 
Western Civ's product  and it sort of easy to use.) I don't need an OS/2 only 
solution, 
only a  solution whose product is os nutral. 

I am going to redo my synagogue's  awful ms only website (finally) in the 
next 60 days. I 
have a style sheet  that I based on a template that I like, and have most of 
the text and  
graphics ready, but I the template which uses tabs for getting around,  only 
had one page, 
and I don't get how to make the mods to expand  it.


TIA. 

Stan
