Description and Order Information
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the key to creating visually richer, dynamically interactive, and more efficient and accessible web pages. All current web browsers support virtually all of the CSS1 specification and much of CSS2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) By Example teaches you how to create advanced web designs using CSS, while remaining backward-compatible with older browsers that either don't support CSS or only do so partially.
Rated at four out of five stars by readers at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) by Example provides a graduated fast-track approach that allows even beginning and novice users to quickly get up and running using Cascading Style Sheets to enhance and add impact to their web publishing projects.
