Cascading Style Sheets describe the appearance of structured documents, usually written in HTML. The current standard for CSS is level 2 revision 1 (CSS 2.1) which is officially documented by the W3C in the Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 Revision 1 (CSS 2.1) Specification. CSS 3 is the new emerging standard. A good web site to follow what is going on with CSS 3 is www.css3.info.
