For effective maintenance for web applications, it is necessary to improve the readability of the source pages. Though CSS(Cascading Style Sheet) belongs to pure presentation layer in various web constituent entities, CSS codes are often used by inlning and they are sometimes automatically generated by web development tools. The existing studies on CSS optimization have only focused on reducing the size of codes and they did not incorporate the readability or the reusability. In this paper, CSS codes are structured and several criteria for readability are defined to improve the readabilty and reusability. Based on them, the algorithm to improve the readability are proposed. Finally, case study are presented to show the applicability of the proposed algorithm.
