About to take the CSS plunge! - 5/19/2003 23:06:52
OK... I have been designing FrontPage webs for three years and I' ll admit it, this is my first attempt at writing my own CSS from scratch. So, here are my questions:
1) Is it possible to have a FrontPage theme control navigation buttons, bullets, heading colors, etc. and just have a CSS that controls font style and size?
2) External, internal (aka: an innie or an outie) and what is the benefit of the better choice?
3) I have already been through the tutorial on Outfront and most of the sites on the Forum list for CSS. Any additional words of advice?
Thanks!

I imagine so, as long as you are writing your own CSS and not using the FP take on one.
It will somewhat negate some of the advantages though - ie the nice short clean code on your pages, which will still have the FP stuff in them.

External. That means that changing one stylesheet changes all pages, if you use an interanl stylesheet changes would have to be made on each page. Keep internal stylesheets for styles that apply to one page only.
Understanding the point of internal stylesheets depends on understanding what the ' cascading' bit in CSS means. There is a good tutorial on this here:

Think about using CSS for layout as well as for presentation of text etc. It is tricky to get the hang of the first time you look at it but once you do makes laying out pages a real joy. There are some layouts here that you can play with to give you the idea:

If you do use specific on page styles, make sure to specify them in the <head> of your documents. I' m seeing problems on sites that combine inline styles with external styles. Particulary with NN.4x. There could be others but I' ve not tested them all.
Also, the purpose of css is so that you can remove all presentational markup from your html. If possible, put everything into your external css file.
