CSS

[Samir]

Is the only way to get make changes on all pages with just one time is using
cascading style sheets? Is there any other option other than CSS??

That depends on what kind of changes you're talking about.

There's nothing wrong with css. I am new to web design and I thought there
might be newer technology that's all. I never used css before.

CSS ? Is this ASP code ?

 

[Aaron [SQL Server MVP]]

It could be, for example instead of using CSS (which is a pain to make
cross-browser friendly), you could do this:

css.asp:

<%
br = request.serverVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
if instr(br, "MSIE") > 0 then
fontsize = 3
else
fontsize = 2
end if
%>

anyother.asp:

<!--#include file=css.asp-->
<table>
<tr>
<td><font size=<%=fontsize%>>Blah</td>
</tr>
</table>

He also might not have been talking about CSS, maybe he doesn't even know
what CSS is. Which is why I asked what kind of changes he was talking
about.

A global include file that has CSS in it?
A text editor that will do a mass find and replace?

Is there some opposition to CSS?

I am just seeing if css is the best thing out there of it's kind.

*sigh*

You still haven't given us a clue about what you're trying to accomplish.
"of its kind"... kind of WHAT???

 

[Samir]

I am not trying to specifically to anything. I just wanted to know if doing
css is worth it or not that's all. I know that css is able to do formatting
to all pages it's linked on. I guess what I am trying to say is...do
profressional web sites use css?? What do prof. web sites use?

It is worth it. It's no fun going back through all your old pages and
updating them with a CSS file after you've done it the "old school" way. :]

CSS--yes!

Try the CSS group for answers, it's not an ASP question.

Like i already asked. Is CSS ASP Code?

And if you use CSS, keep ip simple in your pages. Don't become a Picasso or
Dali.
Define a style for BODY, TABLES, TABLEHEADER, CELLS, IMAGES and some texts
(small, normal, big)

If you want to learn CSS go to www.w3schools.com

And like you continue to ignore, the questions asked if CSS was the only way
to accomplish flexible global look-and-feel management. It is not (though
many of us would assert it is the only sane way), and there are ASP
alternatives (using global includes, for exemple).

Samir - for CSS help go to alt.html group. If you are going to design
websites, you will be much much happier if you learn CSS. Maybe not so much
in your initial draft, but if you want to do the final touches, you will
need CSS. Imagine you've built a 20-30 page site for a client or yourself.
Today, your client wants paragraph text smaller and a different color.
Tomorrow, something else. Make the titles bolder and more blue. Make all the
currency values red. This could go on forever. Anyway, designing within the
page tags and changing all those freakin' pages would drive you nuts.
However, if you learned CSS, you'd be editing a couple values in one text
file for the whole site. You could change things in seconds while your
client is across the world viewing it live. In short, take the time to learn
CSS "correctly". It's a must. It's here and it's not going away. Good Luck!

Actually for pure CSS questions, go to
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets.

And for HTML, I would recommend comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html
