How To Describe CSS?
April 21st, 2008 in Articles by kailoonAfter I posted up the 5 useful CSS Tricks. I received some comments on how to explain what CSS is ? Or maybe how to define CSS? All the comments come after the first comment from Amei who asked “Does CSS code=HTML code?” Then I read some different descriptions after i explain mine. There are a lots of CSS hardcore coder out there and also web designers. I think each of them have their different point of view for CSS, XHTML or maybe Javascript and PHP. It will be fun when we compare it with pur daily life.

hahahahaha, nice definition buddy…. you shot it balls eye buddy…
haha…naked
HTML is body, CSS is clothes. Show off your body without CSS, naked.
@john, Yes, I think you are right. My comparison is maybe a little bit too far-fetched. Anyhow I could not resist making it.
great post
@dizajn: I like the basic idea of it, except that it makes it sound like CSS is just unnecessary fluff.
How about this. HTML/XHTML is the cake, and all the ORNAMENTS, FIGURINES, TOPPERS and STENCILS is the CSS.

Oh? punctuation? Hmm …
Ivan:
Yeah ~ people here are so creative and their descriptions are unique and help us understand it easier
john:
smartly using our nature to explain it and this may help people understand it very easy!
You have a very special description here
Nelis:
Hahahah!!!nice one!
Lets compair it with ourselfs:
XHTML is the personality or character of a person, CSS is all about the looks.
All of you CSS-junkies are shallow and you know it!
(x)HTML is the yard: trees, grass, plants, etc. All the essentials that make a yard what it is. CSS is the landscaping: the placement of the elements, the bark, the pebbles, the lawn gnome, etc. It’s what makes the yard worth looking at and spending time in.
Haha, nice comparison, gives me something from real life as comparison when I try to explain it to people who doesn’t know what it is
Then my description would be HTML is the wordings, the CSS is the punctuation marks (, . ! ?…etc)?
Hi! haha..no problem
yup, a lot to learn. But currently I more focus on CSS and PHP since I want to learn more in wordpress 
javascript … too hard for me 
Hey Kailoon. Thanks for bringing up my idea. Love your blog CSS and of course the PHP coding structure. That’s why your blog design rocks! PHP?? It is way to many differences with HTML. You people out there, learn all these one by one. Understand HTML and CSS first. Then proceed to PHP or even more challenging such as Javascript or ASP. Fuuhh.. Too many things to learn (me also still learning). Good luck!
Hmm.. this is quite different, compare with food
In my point of view:
“HTML/XHTML is the FOOD and CSS is the SALT, with out salt the food is not tasty.”
å®èŒ¹:
Yeah
aronil:
Haha…plastic surgery … Hmm… quite true also
I say CSS is the plastic surgery for the ugly formatting of HTML
but cool post.
Hehehehe…nice description of CSS.
