Everything (and I mean everything) I know about web code or webbing of any kind for that matter, I learned by self-teaching. I haven't had a lick of web designing school, not even an online at-your-own-pace class under my belt, so I come to you asking...can someone please explain (in kindergarden terms) what it is to CSS. I know what it stands for at least! (Cascading Tile Sheet-woo hoo) My personal web site it currently all in HTML (just to do that was a brain altering experience and caused many a headache), but I just can't grasp the concept of CSS. Can't quite picture in my little froggy brain the advantages of it. What's the bottom line? I read the forums here and can somewhat see there is a new thing to be learned here, but should I be convinced or see the need to incorporate CSS into my repitroire of new things mastered? Ultimately my goal would be to learn more about iFrames and I'm wondering if the two are linked somehow, but I'm not even sure on that. Grateful to you...

Have you read the CSS section of LEIA?

Cascading style sheets are used to change properties like font face, size, font in tables, scrollbar color, link color and hover color, and other style attributes on Web sites, without having to use long HTML codes.

css is kinda like the <b> tag or <font> tag but much more powerful.
css will "style" or decorate an object or area.

iframes are different. they create a window on your webpage that displays a second seperate webpage inside it. the webpage showing inside an iframe is able to be changed at the click of a link.
