Cascading Style Sheets
[Imagemap]

Like their desktop-publishing cousins, cascading style sheets allow Web publishers to streamline design by applying font, color, and spacing choices to several pages at once. The W3 Consortium hopes this standard will help settle the chaos of proprieta ry tags by establishing a universal standard for style and appearance.

If this takes off, publishers will be afforded the luxury of designing pages that look the same in different browsers. (Of course, whether different browsers implement style sheets the same way is another story.)

Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0b for Windows is currently the only browser that supports style sheets, but Netscape Navigator 4.0, scheduled for release at the end of 1996, is expected to follow suit.
