Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide 2nd Edition
Simply put, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to
separate a document's structure from its presentation. The
benefits of this can be quite profound: CSS allows a much
richer document appearance than HTML; CSS saves time--you
can create or change the appearance of an entire document in
just one place; and its compact file
size makes web pages
load quickly. Eric Meyer, a member of the CSS&FP Working
Group and an internationally known expert on HTML and CSS,
tackles the subject with passion and delivers a
comprehensive and thorough update to his groundbreaking
book.
All readers will benefit from both the depth and breadth of
his experience and his clear and honest style. Cascading
Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is a
thorough review of all aspects of CSS2.1 and a comprehensive
guide to CSS implementation. The book includes new content
on positioning, lists and generated content, table layout,
user interface, paged media, and more. It explores in
detail each individual CSS property and how it interacts
with other properties, and shows how to avoid common
mistakes in interpretation.
If you're ready to take the next step with your HTML coding
and incorporate CSS or are already a CSS code warrior,
you'll find Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide,
2nd Edition is the book you've been craving.
