Maintaining Context

Given the small working area, it is easy for the user to become lost. Headings will often not be in view, and the user, if distracted by other work, can lose their sense of context. Style sheets may be used to help maintain this sense of context through color. The <div> and <span> tags are intended to provide page designer-defined content-based style. By defining classes of <div> tags with various colors and border styles, the designer may provide additional information. It is important to bear in mind that a significant number of people suffer from some form of color blindness. Thus, it may be necessary to design pages both with and without using color styles.
