Could someone tell me what's so great about CSS that everyone is adding it to their websites?


It makes web design easier. I.e. one can change look of all web pages on portal only by changing css file.

Couldn't all that that css functionality be handled better by standalone software rather than by changing the standard?


It does not change the standard. In fact it stops web designers abusing HTML standard and CSS is designed in a way it allows viewing page even when your browser does not support CSS. They just look dull.

Lack of CSS support is only tip of the iceberg. Modern browser should also support XML.

Hmmm... Fair enough, I suppose, but wasn't there a similar way to do this in the past that wasn't a nightmare for Amigas and PDAs?


The same could be done using PHP scripts, I guess.

When I'm desgning a web site/web app I have a 'header' file which includes all of the font styles, table styles etc etc, and the body tag. This file is included in every other page by adding the line "require('header.php') to the top of each script.


PHP requires an access to server side things and all users can't afford that or lack coding skills.

True, but most web hosts provide PHP services [EDIT] as standard [/EDIT], and TBH PHP isn't that difficult if you just want to set some variables and echo their values to the browser to help you get a consistent style.


Still, embedding style into HTML documents have been deprecated for years and Amiga is only platform lacking CSS support now. The world has been using CSS almost 10 years now.

And like I wrote earlier, XML support is also highly appreciated.
