Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 is the first browser to support Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the HTML style sheet standard set by the W3C. Style sheets give you same flexibility of design and layout that desktop publishing programs do, by enabling you to attach styles (such as fonts, colors, and spacing) to HTML pages. By applying separate style tags to your HTML, you ensure that all browsers can view the basic text and structure of your Web page while you present more sophisticated designs for browsers, such as Internet Explorer 3.0, that support style sheets.
If some of the styles on this page look different to you, it's because we're showing off our style sheet!

In addition, style sheets:
Give you greater Web-page design flexibility by letting you control margins, line spacing, and placement of design elements, and specify colors, font faces, and point sizes.
Enable you to apply one style sheet to diverse documents to create a standard design. This saves time and enables a company to develop a signature Web style.
Make it easier to index pages because indexing software only has to read the structural tags.
