Cascading Style Sheets/User Style Sheets

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

CSS allows the reader of a document to apply style sheets to the document. These are called user style sheets. They become part of the cascade along with the author's style sheets.

The following sections explain how you can set your own user style sheet in various web browsers—Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
