Cascading Style Sheets / Bringing sanity back to Web design
An old saying goes: “There are two types of people: those who divide people into two types and those who don’t.” I am definitely in the former group. For example, I might say there are two types of people: those who read Web pages and those who create them. Of course, some of us do both, but the vast majority of the Web-using public doesn’t know or care about the messy underpinnings of HTML, Web servers, browser compatibility issues, and all the rest. They care about just one thing: the information on the page. If a page loads too slowly, if the fonts are too small, if the graphics overlap the text, or if any of a thousand other things goes wrong, the average Web surfer will simply move along to the next page—there’s nearly always another source for any piece of information, and life is too short to waste it on poorly designed Web sites. Strangely, this fact seems to be lost on a great many Web developers. I’m surely not alone in having made many purchasing decisions based on the clarity, accessibility, or convenience of a company’s Web site. And when I list URLs for related pages at the bottom of an article on this site, I exclude sites that play music incessantly, that don’t show up correctly in my browser, or that otherwise annoy me. I figure they’ll annoy you too. This is a shame, because the whole point of the Web was to make information available to as many people as possible—and clearly, on some level at least, that goal is still not being achieved. There are many ways of designing Web pages, but among these are certain widely recognized “best practices.” One such practice is the use of something called Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS for short. If you’re a Web developer, this technology is very old news; if not, your eyes may even now be glazing over as you anticipate a description of meaningless codes and standards that will have no effect on your life at all. I’ll keep this as non-technical as I can; I mainly want to make three points: first, CSS is a wonderful and magical thing; second, any Web site that doesn’t use CSS, should; and third, most sites that do use CSS—including this one—could do a better job. Effective use of CSS improves the Web for everyone—reader and creator alike. I’m not going to tell you how to make a style sheet or why they “cascade”—there are lots of places to learn that. What I want to tell you is why Cascading Style Sheets are interesting—and why they are so badly needed. In the Beginning There Was the Page The first Web pages were mainly concerned with presenting straightforward subject matter to a technically competent audience, not advertising all the world’s books or trying to sell you a car. The people who decided how Web pages should be made—the World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C—designed the original specifications to reflect the needs of early users who worked with simple and highly structured information such as technical papers, outlines, bibliographies, and tables. As the Web became more commercialized, a whole new group of people began creating Web pages. The new Web designers were, on the whole, neither academics nor programmers, but ordinary people who thought Web pages should mimic the layouts found in other media. Unfortunately, the early W3C specifications didn’t provide any way for these new designers to exert the level of control they wanted, so two things happened. On the one hand, companies that made Web browsers started “coloring outside the lines,” so to speak, implementing features that were not part of the official specification. And second, Web designers began to use parts of the specification in ways that were never intended—let’s be bold and call it “cheating”—in order to trick browsers into displaying exactly what they wanted on the screen. To some extent this cheating worked, but not all browsers performed the same sets of tricks or in the same way—nor did all designers use exactly the same methods of cheating. The result was pages that looked fine in one browser but not another, or on one computer but not another. In order to deal with the chaos, the W3C said fine, let’s update the specification to officially sanction many of the unorthodox cheats. Then at least everyone will be doing the same thing. And so, over the years, the specification went through many revisions, as did browsers, and as did the aesthetic sensibilities of Web designers. Today, on the whole, things are better than they were a few years ago, but there’s still a significant problem. Many Web pages are only friendly to a small group of people—typically, English-speaking people with good eyesight, large monitors, modern browsers, fast computers, and even faster internet connections. And the problem with that is that there are billions of people in the world who aren’t in that group. So if such a Web site provides information, some people can’t read it; if it sells something, there’s an artificial limit on the number of potential customers. Orthodoxy and Reform The W3C realized years ago that the specifications for creating Web pages were on a slippery slope, and began taking steps to bring sanity back to Web design. Their first step was to invent a good way for designers to separate the content of a Web site (the text and images) from its form (its layout and visual characteristics). They created two new specifications: one, called XHTML, for the way the content and structure of a site are represented—things like titles, headings, paragraphs, quotations, images, and so on—and a second, known as Cascading Style Sheets, for the way visual elements should appear, including text size, colors, spacing, and layout. And they basically said: “Follow these rules, and there will be joy.” The specifications were cleverly designed such that if Web designers followed them, all the older browsers that didn’t know anything about the newer specifications would still display the pages adequately—not beautifully, sure, but all the content would be readable. (Web pages that do this are said to “degrade gracefully.”) Cascading Style Sheets are a bit like the styles you can define in your word processor so that you can change many aspects of a word or paragraph’s appearance all at once, while keeping that appearance consistent throughout your document. When a Web designer uses CSS (and uses it correctly) rather than using the old cheats, several interesting things happen. First, Web pages become viewable on a much wider range of devices, including some very old ones. Second, some very nifty typographical and design tricks that were difficult to achieve before are now a piece of cake. Third, Web pages can be understood much more easily by computer programs—for example, search engines that extract parts of Web pages when they list their results, programs that read Web pages to people who can’t see them, programs that create summaries or perform automatic translation, and programs that determine whether a Web page meets governmental requirements for usability. Fourth—and perhaps most significantly—using CSS means that a designer can dramatically change the appearance and layout of dozens or thousands of pages instantly, simply by modifying a single text file. And yet, for all these benefits, far too many sites haven’t bothered to implement CSS. Of those that have, many have done so in an unhelpful way that follows the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law—erasing many of the system’s advantages in the process. But only part of the blame falls on the sites’ designers; even the most current Web browsers differ significantly from each other in the way they interpret and display CSS information. Although a designer can use CSS to compensate for bugs or quirks in individual browsers that negatively affect a page’s display, having to do all that fine-tuning harks back to the bad old days of proprietary browser standards. Even so, the mere exercise of separating form from content—and in the process, thinking carefully about the structural elements of a page—is a huge step toward returning the Web to a more useful and accessible state. Look for the Union Label Many Web sites—including this one—that make a serious effort to follow the W3C standards include little badges saying “XHTML” or “CSS.” Technically speaking, these indicators may mean little to the average person, but in effect they’re a way of saying, “We care.” By supporting sites that support these open standards, you show that you care too. —Joe Kissell Permalink • Email this Article • Bookmark at del.icio.us Categories: Commentary, Technology & Computing More Information about Cascading Style Sheets… I should offer a few disclaimers about CSS. First, no matter how diligently a Web designer attempts to use CSS, there will always be some browser that doesn’t implement the specification correctly and thus causes your pages to appear improperly. Second, using CSS is no guarantee of accessibility, any more than following the rules of grammar assures that you’ll be understood. And last but not least, I do not mean to impugn the well-intended efforts of many Web craftspersons who, for a variety of very good and noble reasons, have chosen (or were forced) to cheat in order to accomplish what they felt was a higher purpose. Sometimes things are just like that. Cascading Style Sheets are not part of the specifications for HTML, XML, or XHTML, but an adjunct to them. In a nutshell: your HTML document will say, “Look for a style sheet with such-and-such name in such-and-such location for all the formatting information,” and the tags within the HTML document will be based on the style names included in the style sheet. The style sheet (which, incidentally, can also be embedded within the HTML file) is not written in HTML but looks more like a simplified version of C code; it basically says, for a style called “XYZ,” use these fonts, sizes, colors, spacing, and so forth. When the HTML document comes to a point where the XYZ tag is used, the browser checks with the style sheet to see how the information should be displayed; if the style sheet can’t be found (or the browser doesn’t know about CSS), it simply presents its closest guess using ordinary HTML formatting. Styles are hierarchical; if a style B is at a lower level than style A, B picks up all of A’s attributes—they “cascade” to the lower levels. For a vastly more complete explanation, check out the links that follow. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is here; see especially their page on Cascading Style Sheets. That page also lists many links to books and Web pages on working with CSS. Emil Stenström wrote the Beginners guide to CSS and standards at friendly bit. A few books you might consider if you want to learn CSS are Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer, Cascading Style Sheets: The Designer’s Edge by Molly Holzschlag, or Designing CSS Web Pages by Christopher Schmitt.

IT Conversations News: December 29, 2005
(Hear the MP3 version with additional commentary in beautiful monophonic audio.) New Programs Last Week Listed in increasing order of listener rating. Richard Monson-Haefel - The Rebel Platforms (rated 2.4 by listeners) For enterprise application development, the high-end "superplatforms" like J2EE and .NET aren’t the only choice. Developers can choose from the "rebel platforms," open-source platforms that don’t adhere to industry standards like J2EE or .NET. Burton Group analyst Richard Monson-Haefel describes the rebel platforms, compares then with superplatforms from Microsoft, SAP, IBM, Oracle, and BEA on criteria including flexibility, risk, lock-in, development complexity, and cost. Tim O’Reilly and John Battelle (2.7) Hosts Tim O’Reilly and John Battelle introduce the themes of this year’s Web 2.0 Conference and look back at a year that has seen the term ‘Web 2.0′ rack up a vast number of citations on Google and become a common description for a range of new technology. If ‘Web 2.0′ is to fulfil its potential, the coming year must see a focus on substance rather than a cycle of hype. Progress in Search - Accelerating Change 2005 (3.0) We all rely on search engines to find information we need on the internet, but they really are not as useful as they could be. Rather, it is like trying to have a conversation with a one-year old: you can’t ask the question you want to and you won’t get the answer you need. This debate from Accelerating Change 2005 brings together Ronald Kaplan and Marti Hearst, who discuss with moderator Sibley Verbeck what a conversational user interface might be and when we can expect it. Local Search Faces Off - A Panel Discussion (3.3) The internet is increasingly becoming the first place most people turn to for information, including local material. The large players and independent companies are taking the local search market by storm, with new offerings and applications. John Battelle moderates this panel discussion about the current state of local search and the possibilities for the future. Reinventing Media - Supernova 2005 (3.3) As the internet becomes a greater factor in our day-to-day lives, the role of all forms of media is rapidly changing. Dan Gillmor leads a diverse group of entrepreneurs to discuss the evolution of the internet from a platform for text and pictures into a platform for every sort of media. Mitchell Baker - The Mozilla Foundation (3.3) With over 100 million downloads so far, Firefox is a huge success. Mitchell Baker and her team helped blaze the trail for commercial open source. She shares her insights on The Mozilla Foundation as an organization and the launch of Firefox. From the O’Reilly Media Open Source Convention (OSCON). Josh Bancroft - Podcasting from Mobile Devices (3.7) To produce great podcasts you don’t need a lot of complex equipment or technical expertise. In this session from the first in-person Podcast Academy classes, Josh Bancroft tells how to get good results with a cellphone, PDA or MP3 player. Drew Endy - Open Source Biology (3.8) Now that organisms can routinely be amended by changing their genetic structure, biologists face problems that are more familiar to software developers. Drew Endy argues that we need to adopt an open-source approach to DNA. In this entertaining talk he explains why, and what he is doing about it. Mike Arbidge (4.0) On BioTech Nation, Dr. Moira Gunn speaks with Genencore CEO, Mike Arbidge, who fills us in on biomass, the source for the ethanol that gets mixed with our gasoline. Ray Kurzweil - When Humans Transcend Biology (4.1) Increasing technological advances are certainly making a global impact. However, one may very well ask how new technologies will change daily life. In this question and answer session, Dr. Moira Gunn of Tech Nation talks with Ray Kurzweil about the impact of technological change on large and small arenas of life. This is part 2, the Q&A session. It’s the unedited version of an earlier Tech Nation program. Simon Singh (4.2) Moria also interviews Simon Singh, the author of "Big Bang - The origin of the Universe," who tells us why he chose to explain what scientists are saying, instead of being one himeslf. Ze Frank at Pop!Tech (4.3) Ze Frank kicks off day two of Pop!Tech with his unique style of in-depth exploration of the mysterious art of airline safety card designs. Analyzing examples from the early days of air travel to extremely graphic graphics on Azerbijani Air, Ze makes sure you’ll never look at your personal floatation device the same way again. John Barrow (4.4) Moira Gunn interviews John Barrow, a cosmologist and mathematician at Cambridge University. He’s followed up his "Book of Nothing" and "Theories of Everything," with a new entry: "The Infinite Book…A Short Guide to the Boundless, Timeless and Endless." Todd Kuiken and Jesse Sullivan - Mind and Body (4.4) As director at the Neural Engineering Center for Artificial Limbs at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Dr. Todd Kuiken has found both a partner and a patient in Jesse Sullivan–a double amputee who has become the world’s first bionic man. This presentation at Pop!Tech shows Jesse as he is: a remarkable man, possessing the patience of Job and a remarkable spirit. The O’Reilly Pick of the Week: This week we have two IT Conversations/O’Reilly Picks of the Week: Marc Smith - Catalyzing Collective Action on the Net (3.8) From 2004: This talk demonstrates several technologies and concepts that show promise as ways to enhance online communities, making them easier to discover and making it easier to select high-quality content, evaluate that content, and motivate others to contribute significant value. In short, these tools may catalyze collective action by highlighting participants’ histories and relationships. Wil Wheaton at Gnomedex 4.0 (4.2) From 2004: You may know him as Cadet Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but inside the skin of an actor is a geek trying (successfully) to get out. He’s the author of the weblog, WilWheaton.net, and two books: Dancing Barefoot and Just a Geek. In this presentation recorded at Gnomedex 4.0, Wil reads original unexpurgated excerpts from his books, takes questions, and sits down for an interview with IT Conversations. It was one of the highlights of the weekend. Guaranteed to entertain, whether you’re a Star Trek fan or not.
