CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets". It is a system of rules that directly effect the display properties of your website's pages like colors, fonts and layouts. CSS style blocks are also commonly referred to as rules.
These rules can be embedded into an individual HTML page or placed in an external file that will control many individual pages on your website. Thus changing a property in one place in the linked style sheet will immediately make that change on every web page that is linked to it.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is a W3C Standard.

The main advantage of CSS is
* Pages load faster
* Less code means faster download times.
* Easy maintenance
* To change the style of an element, you only have to make an edit in one place.
* Superior styles to HTML
*CSS has a much wider array of attributes than HTML.

With the help of CSS and DIV tags can reduce markup code,it also speed up the page downloads, you can separate content from its visual presentation, and also bring your code close to W3C standards compliance, all the while making your website more attractive to search engine spiders.

Cascading style sheets is a good option to style ur website layouts, but it got some disadvantages too .....such as ---

#Inconsistent browser support-
different browsers act differently on CSS, it leads to lack of support for CSS
features.
#Lack of column declaration-
working on multiple columns in current CSS is very hard to imply.
#CSS lack variables-
CSS doesn't carry any kind of variables.This goes like that if someone has
to change a fundamental feature like height,width or color scheme he has
to work on "replace all" theory.
#Lack variable shapes-
it only carries rectangular shapes,for other shapes you have to refer non
semantic markup.
#Multiple backgrounds are absent-
CSS support only one background image at a time,if you desires multi-
-ple background images working on CSS you have to go for adding
redundant wrappers around document elements or dropping the visual
effect.
