Alright, cascade style sheets make updating a website with many pages very simple.

Lets say you have a site with 50 pages, and you want to change all your h1 headers color from red to green.

Suppose you have a header on each page. If you try to change the headers on each of those 50 pages, it doesn't take you long to realize you'll be at it for a while.

Now with an external style sheet, you change the color of ALL your h1 headers from red to green all at one time, in about 30 seconds. No muss, no fuss, and you don't spend all day long just to change one header on every page of your website.

basically, its an easy way to change link colours and action, colour the scrollbars, and do cool stuff like that easily.

In short, CSS is a way of making your HTML describe what the contents of your page are, rather than how they should be displayed.

It's a tool to allow for separation of presentation (style sheet) and structure (HTML/XHTML).

Why not have it? It's only a few kilobytes of data in a table somewhere, and if someone doesn't care about it, they can ignore it. Smile
