The CSS, Essential for your site to look classy.  

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is mainly developed for separating document content from document codesentation. Document content can be in xml, html, xhtml document. And the style is written in CSS. 

Cascading means giving priorities on the style attribute over different available style attributes based on the priority rules.Web site viewers can use a different style sheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to override the one the author has specified.
