Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Gary for Expert Village. CSS files are files used by web pages to set parameters in the web page, it sets all different types of things like text and text size and colors. And we're going to create a CSS file that is going to set parameters for the display which is going to shut off all the images. In order to do this we're going to create a very simple file in notepad, go to start, accessories, and find your notepad and we're going to create one line CSS file. We're going to type in IMG in capital, that's going to refer to the images and we're going to put a space and then a bracket which is the curve bracket on top of the square bracket. You hit shift and the square bracket you'll get the curved bracket type in display with a colon, and the space, and we're going to set that to non and put a semi colon and close the bracket and we're going to save this as a CSS file. Notepad by default wants to save it as a text document but we need it to be a dot CSS extension so the web so explorer would know what to do with it. So we'll just go down and click on all files and that will enable you to save it to whatever extent ion you want, I'm going to save it to my desktop I will call it noimages.CSS go ahead and click save, then we're going to open up internet explorer. And we're going to set the parameter in internet options to load the CSS file that we just created so we're going to go on top and we'll click on tools, go down to internet options and on the general tab you'll see on the bottom a tab that says accessibility. We're going to click on that and we'll get another window and on the bottom it says format documents using the style sheet, this style sheet referring to the CSS file. We're going to turn that on and then we're going to browse to the way we saved the file, I saved it on my desktop and we find it here, the CSS file and that's the file it's going to load every time that we open up explorer. And we'll see as soon as we hit OK immediately. Our image is going to disappear and now it's very easy once we go to any page in explore since this file is set to load it's going to remove any images. If we want to turn the images back on we simply go to tools, internet options, and click on the tab again and says accessibility and shut it off. Where we put format the documents with the style sheet we just simply shut that off, hit OK and now we're back to a regular internet explore page and we can browse as usual. "
