The Cascading Style Sheets

XHTML, with which the UW web space is built, provides no formatting capabilities within its document markup structure. Formatting can be applied to a web site using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

The (CSS) imbeded in the Common Look and Feel (CLF) template determines the appearance of UW Web CLF documents. Documents created from the CLF template consist of a number of regions, or "DIVs". For each DIV, the CSS determines: absolute position, is width, background colour, font colour, size and style, etc.
