CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a set of instructions for specifying how an HTML document should display its data. Using CSS, a web page author can override the browser default styles for several attributes, including fonts, colours and borders. The page author's styles can be overridden if the person reading the web page specifies their own style sheet. In practice, however, users are unlikely to maintain their own style sheets unless they have difficulty reading web page content otherwise.
