    Style Sheets or No?

    I'm re-designing my (text heavy!) pay site tour and it already uses a number of inline style statements, placed by the wysiwyg program I used to put it together in the first place.

    It's obvious how much easier this chore would've been if I'd gone with an external style sheet for the site from the gitgo'. However, I seem to recall some advice against this somewhere and, before going this direction at this time, I'd like some feedback on the issue.

      css rocks IF you take the time to study it thoroughly... coz it's pretty complicated when it comes to compatability (w3c standard != IE != NN)

          Right about that! I've not only gone through a few tutorials, but I'm using <A HREF="http://www.westciv.com/style_master/" target="_blank">StyleMaster</A> (which supplies a detailed commentary on every tag and attribute) for the re-write and checking the results with IE, NN and Opera, a full version removed from the latest on each. According to my logs, that covers a bit over 98% of my visitors as far as compatibility goes. Am I missing anything?

              You might want to look into Top Style . It is a pretty powerful yet easy to use style sheet editor/creator.

              It took me a while to get into using css but once I stated I realized hom much easier it was and how much better everything looked, I just made it part of my work flow.

                  One file and the job is done for the whole project.

                  I have one which I'm using in a site of mine that has 500 lines of all styles imaginable.

                  And it drasticly reduces the html coding.
