QUESTION 8 OF 47

What are some of the elements you use to create CSS documents?

Cascading Style Sheets or CSS is a core technology for building Web pages. While HTML provides the page's structure, CSS defines the visual layout and how the page is displayed for various devices. Hiring managers will ask you questions about CSS even though you may not be applying for a job that requires webpage front-end development. Knowing how to use this technology and supervising others who are employing it is a fundamental qualification for any software development manager.

Your response to this question can begin by describing what CSS is, its benefits, and how it is used. You can then list several CSS functions to demonstrate your knowledge of the technology. As with any technical question, be prepared for a follow-up question.

"Some of the elements I use to create CSS documents include:
- layouts.css, to designate page designs and portions, including frameworks
- reset.css, to reset and standardize styles
- typography.css, to define text fonts, sizes, and styles for headings and body text
- lists.css, to define list-explicit styles
- tables.css for table-explicit styles"
