General Notes	CSS - Cascading Style Sheets 3 Types of Style Sheets: External, Internal, and Local Cascading - The 3 style sheets are applied in a cascading manner. Local has highest precedence, then Internal followed by External. Purpose of CSS - separates document content from its presentation (style).
Levels of CSS	Levels of CSS CSS1 (Level 1) - Supported by IE4 & NS4. CSS2 (Level 2) - Became final in 5/98. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2
Naming conventions - class name	In Netscape 4.7 (4.x) you cannot use the "_" (underscore) to create a name of a class. Works in IE 5.0 (maybe 4.0). OK ex: cssintroheading or cssintrotext Bad ex: cssintro_heading or cssintro_text I've spent many hours trouble shooting this problem. I hope this will help you. I suggest leading off with "css" as a prefix. Ex: cssintroheading or cssintrotext
