A style is a group of formatting attributes that control the appearance of a range of text in a single document. A CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) style can be used to control many documents at once and includes all of the styles for a document. The advantage of using a CSS style sheet over an HTML style is that in addition to being linked to multiple documents, when a CSS style is updated or changed, the formatting of all the documents that use that style sheet are automatically updated as well.

This tutorial will show you how to apply several CSS effects to your web page using Dreamweaver. There are many other ways to use Dreamweaver to work with Cascading Style sheets. Please refer to the excellent online help in Dreamweaver.
