At the beginning of pictures on the internet only certain browsers could display images so uses of other browsers at least knew what would be on a page if they could see the images.

Today most web browser can display images so the old reason changed to new one, while connection is slow and a webpage is loading you know what will be the a page once it loads.

You would want to use CSS to make a webpage look nice and to present the information on the page in a way that is easy to follow. Without CSS a webpage still has all the same information (text, images, links etc. . . ) but it has no no special spacing, colors, fonts, borders or anything else beyond whatever your web browser uses as a default.


When saving a word document as a webpage why does the text scatter on page?

The most common reason for the webpage to not look the same as your Word document is that the webpage is not constrained by the same rules or margins as your Word document. For example, webpages do not include multiple spaces in a line. If you use the spacebar to organize the format on a page, the browser will render 20 spaces as a single space.
