LSW Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 CSS is a general term for Style Sheets... as in "Learn CSS" CSS aka CSS 1 is the original language. CSS 2 was an improvement. CSS 3 is just a further improvement/reworking of the language. There are changes between the versions but the language is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamJack Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Cascading Style Sheets, known as "CSS," is a Web design language that is used to control the look and feel of Web pages.Latest version of CSS-CSS3 now comes with many more features and supports a rich interface and extra functionality.It is less complex and Easy to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnclr Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) css means cascading style sheet and The latest version of CSS is the CSS3 version which basically differs from CSS2 in the incorporation of Modules and other changes. Modules enable the designing to be done in a lesser time with more ease while updating individual features and specifications. The CSS3 version supports many more browsers than CSS2, but be sure to test it on all operating systems and browsers. Other major changes/additions include: * New Combinator * New CSS Selectors * New Pseudo-elements * New Style properties Edited May 2, 2013 by Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmacklen1234 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 hello... I mention some small and important points which can separate CSS and CSS3 .CSS is used to control the style and layout of Web pages.CSS3 is the latest standard for CSS. Modules are a new concept in CSS3 . Multiple backgrounds is another feature in added in CSS3. With CSS, having multiple backgrounds would have required using a number of HTML tags and div tags to render them on a Web page. With CSS3, the new and improved "background-image" property allows the lying of image layouts on top of each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnet Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) The biggest difference between CSS2 and CSS3 is that CSS3 has been split up into different sections, called modules. Each of these modules is making it's way through the W3C in various stages of the recommendation process. CSS2 was submitted as a single document with all the Cascading Style Sheets information within it. Because each of the modules is being worked on individually, we have a much wider range of browser support for CSS3 modules.

Jmarton1 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Talking about the difference between CSS and CSS3, Can anybody tell me please, how can I show that I am using CSS or CSS3. I mean in HTML <!DOCTYPE> is used to define the version. So, anything special to do before using CSS3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldparker123 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 hello I am trying to differentiate CSS and CSS3 The biggest difference between CSS and CSS3 is that CSS3 has been split up into different sections, called modules. CSS3 well interacts with HTML5. In CSS3 some new features have been added.With CSS3 you can do animations, shadows, flip,rotate elements, and much more features that you can no find in CSS.

trenthanover Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 The latest version of CSS is the CSS3 version which basically differs from CSS2 in the incorporation of Modules and other changes. Modules enable the designing to be done in a lesser time with more ease while updating individual features and specifications. The CSS3 version supports many more browsers than CSS2, but be sure to test it on all operating systems and browsers. Other major changes/additions include: * New Combinator * New CSS Selectors * New Pseudo-elements * New Style properties Now let us discuss these in detail. Combinator New addition of General Sibling Combinator is done to match sibling elements of a given element through tilde (~) Combinator. CSS Selectors While CSS2 had ‘simple selectors’, the new version calls them the components as ‘a sequence of simple selectors’. Pseudo-Elements Many Pseudo Elements have been added that allow in-depth yet easy styling and a new convention of double colons ‘::’ has been introduced. Style Properties New Background Style Properties Multiple Background images can be layered in the box using different elements like background image, position and repeat. Border Style Styling of borders has been extended to images and rounded designs which includes creating image of the borders and then automatically apply image to the borders through CSS. Additions in Properties * Border-radius, image-source, image-slice, and the values for width outset and stretch have been added in CSS3. * Properties for managing boxes like shadowing, wrapping and breaking have been added. * CSS3 has done away with complex structures for div tag and makes it easy for hassle free designing of multiple table-less columns. This can be simply done by putting in the number of columns in the browser that need to be added in the body element along with their width, color and height to make the text flow through the columns with ease. New Background Style Properties * With the addition of the new ‘local’ value, if the element has a scroll bar then the background scrolls with its content. * Background-clip, origin, size and style properties have been added. * Background shorthand property has been added in the size and origin properties. * The changes to previous Background Style Properties include: Repeat property now has two values name space and round that space the tiled image in the box uniformly and rescales background images to tile it multiple time in the box.
