Whats that web thing where you type in another file thing?

Well, whats that thing where you make another file and refer to it, so that you only have to update that file and not the page that it goes on to? I know I probably am confusing you, but I forget what its called. Also, if you have any tutorials on how to do it, would be great.

External CSS style sheet? "That thing" could refer to a lot of different things...

I believe so, yes. I know, Im bad with CSS. Thank you much!! Do you know of any tutorials?

I believe googling "CSS Tutorials" may get you somewhere. ;)

If you have questions you can AIM me if I am on.

thanks, +karma

Wait, so if i make one html page, and in the place that i want to add the text through the external page, is that still the External CSS style sheet?

www.w3schools.com

and yes it's CSS... and you add text on HTML.. CSS only formats the text (yes you can also format thru the HTML page..)

www.csszengarden.com

a bunch of different CSS pros have created stylesheets that use the same HTML file.. it's just formatted, you'll notice every single page has the same content.. just different format..

hope i'm making myself clear.

[bb9d58098ad]Why CSS?[/bb9d58098ad]
Html was actually made to just have content, but then everyone wanted to also format text, so they added Tables, and all sorts of crap. HTML was never meant to have those formatting things, but they were added anywhere.

I'm not sure where CSS came into the picture, but it did and allowed webmasters to create simple stylesheets and format most everything all at once, instead of going inside tag and changing the formatting options.

All around CSS is the best for formatting text on an HTML document, although most people only use it as a supplement (i.e. most websites still use TABLE tags, and other formatting tags).

I know I use both, and have tried creating a CSS-only page (with just HTML content, no formatting in HTML) and it was very tasking.

So, yea I just felt like typing all that crap, not that you want to read it P
