CSS :The Definitive Guide 3rd Edition
CSS: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition, provides you with a
comprehensive guide to CSS implementation, along with a
thorough
review of all aspects of CSS 2.1. Updated to cover Internet
Explorer
7, Microsoft's vastly improved browser, this new edition
includes
content on positioning, lists and generated content, table
layout,
user
interface, paged media, and more.
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 and also 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.
