Anyone that uses Dreamweaver will be using CSS, as a lot of it is run from it. The way you use CSS is with the <style> tag within the <head> tag, just read the tutorial in Website Tutorials for more information.

Then once you've made a style you can do <div id="style">Styled Text</div>

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. Basicly insted of useing old outdated tags e.g. <font> is uses syle="nameofstyle" inside the tag. Also I do NOT recomend you add the CSS to the top of the page I recomend you make a CSS document and just refer to it inside your HTML document.

Basically CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets ) is used to make your page more easier to edit and make a it browser friendly.

You can make your code less and quicker load time by linking your <Head> tag to a External Stylesheet like this:

HTML Code:

<LINK href="thestylesheet name.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

And in this you can use newer tags in which browsers are more acustomed to and that is a lot easier to use such as:

HTML Code:

body 
{ background: #000000; 
}

And also for IE Scrollbar functions:

{
scrollbar-face-color : #000000; 
scrollbar-highlight-color : #000000; 
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #000000; 
scrollbar-shadow-color : #000000; 
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #000000;
scrollbar-track-color : #000000; 
scrollbar-arrow-color : #000000; 
}

HTML is the code you code websites in, CSS is just something which you can use to style your page.
Some people think that using CSS is better because if you wanted to change something on your site, for example the background colour you would only need to change your CSS document - and not every page.

Someone mentioned the <div> tag, it can be used similar to a table. E.g.

Done with <table>:

HTML Code:

 <table width="100" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
   <tr>
     <td>Hi</td>
   </tr>
 </table>

Done with CSS:

Code:

#box {
     float: left;
     width: 100px;
     border: 1px #000 solid}

HTML Code:

<div id="box">Hi</div>
