But don't forget [1]: "Navigator 4.0 supports two versions of style sheets: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS1) and JavaScript Style Sheets (JSSS)." As can be seen from [2], JSSS is a way of setting CSS properties from a scripting language. W3C is working to ensure that there will be a common interface to CSS properties no matter what your favorite scripting language is. [1] http://home.netscape.com/comprod/products/communicator/guide.html [2] http://developer.netscape.com/library/documentation/jsstyles.html By setting properties from a scripting language, you can dynamically modify property values. The downside is that your document may be less interoperable: they require browser support for both the CSS properties and the scripting language of your choice. A good solution to this is to encode your static property values (most of them are static) in CSS and use a scripting language for the dynamic parts.
