Advantages of CSS

[jamesj]

Separation of Content and Presentation:- CSS facilitates publication of the content in presentation format based on the normal parameters.

Bandwidth:- A style sheet is usually stored in the browser cache, and can therefore be used on multiple pages without being reloaded, reducing data transfer over a network.

Flexibility:- When CSS is combined with that of the functionality of CMS, a healthy amount of flexibility can be programmed into content submission forms.

Page Reformatting:- With a simple change of one line, a different style sheet can be used for the same page.

Consistency, Bandwidth Reduction, Search Engines, Browser Compatibility, Viewing Options are some of the advantages of CSS.

The primary advantage is that if you need to change some format used on a number of pages, you simply have to do it as soon as by altering the actual css document.

additional advantages are:-
One. splitting up of content and style.
2. there are several pages which have exactly the same style...therefore ough might have many html webpages which are linked to one css file (effectiveness as well as simpleness)
Three. additionally, it decrease the expense of the network...(because ur browser caches css files, it hasn't got to transmit http demands everytime it requires exactly the same css document)

As CSS has progressed many developers have gone to all CSS tableless design. However, I don't see very many developers using the power of CSS Print Profiles.

This strikes me as odd with the potential power and advantages that can be harnessed there:

1) Mobile/Portable device display compatability
2) SEO - Reduction of on-site duplicate content between webpages and "printable" media.
3) SEO - Reduction in bandwidth usage (server load) and page download response time. It requires a fraction (eg.. 10kb vs 400Kb) to print a well designed webpage vs a pdf in most cases.
4) SEO/SEM/Marketing - Certain elements of a webpage requiring higher color ink usage such as graphic banners can be blocked from printing, while printing a logo and page content, makiing the process even more user friendly.

From that list, it appears to me that the greatest impetus for some Sites lies in certain potential SEO advantages. That's why I chose to post this topic/thread in this forum.

These are all great arguments for going that extra mile with CSS design whether using tables or not.

Other Considerations obviously include older browser compatability and visitor acclimation to printing webpages as opposed to the more widely recognized Adobe formatted "printable media".

I do find CSS tricky but there are so many places to go to get help if you are having trouble with CSS if you get stuck. CSS cleans up code on the page a lot by setting the style of the text & images on the page rather than lots of inline style coding.
