Book description
Cascading Style Sheets enable you to rapidly create web designs
that can be shared by hundreds or even thousands of web pages. It
accelerates development cycles by centralizing text and layout
information for easy editing and updates. This book teaches you
everything you need to know to start using CSS in your web
development work, from the basics of marking up your content and
styling text, through the creation of multi-column page layouts
without the use of tables. Learn to create interface components,
such as drop-down menus, navigation links, and animated graphical
buttons, using only CSS (no JavaScript required). Discover
how to design code that works on the latest standard-compliant
browsers, such as IE7 and current versions of Firefox, Safari, and
Opera, while working around the quirks of the older ones. With a
mastery of CSS, your web design capabilities will move to a new
level, and everything you need to know to get started and build
your skills is right here in this book. You’ll be
stylin’ in no time!
