Checkpoint 1.18 - Mobile-PDA

Stylesheets allow for global control of presentation of the web page information, allow for a consistent web site look and feel, and ease of maintenance, and help cater for the application of user-specified stylesheets. Additionally, by caching the stylesheet, download times will often be reduced.

Requirement

Only CSS Level 1 is used

Recommendation

Many of the CSS attributes are supported by wireless CSS but not all. The more advanced styling techniques might not work across multiple mobile browswers, so CSS should be as simple as possible.

Checking Tool

Review the CSS stylesheet and ensure it contains only CSS Level 1.
