Cascading Style Sheets can turn humdrum websites into highly-functional, professional-looking destinations, but many designers merely treat CSS as window-dressing to spruce up their site's appearance. You can tap into the real power of this tool with CSS: The Missing Manual. This second edition combines crystal-clear explanations, real-world examples, and dozens of step-by-step tutorials to show you how to design sites with CSS that work consistently across browsers. Witty and entertaining, this second edition gives you up-to-the-minute pro techniques. You'll learn how to:
Create HTML that's simpler, uses less code, is search-engine friendly, and works well with CSS
Style text by changing fonts, colors, font sizes, and adding borders
Turn simple HTML links into complex and attractive navigation bars -- complete with rollover effects
Create effective photo galleries and special effects, including drop shadows
Get up to speed on CSS 3 properties that work in the latest browser versions
Build complex layouts using CSS, including multi-column designs
Style web pages for printing
With CSS: The Missing Manual, Second Edition, you'll find all-new online tutorial pages, expanded CSS 3 coverage, and broad support for Firebox, Safari, and other major web browsers, including Internet Explorer 8.

"Excellent book - Covers all areas very well" - by wiseguy12851 on 06-AUG-2011
Reviewer Rating:
This book will start off by teaching the very basics such as linking CSS styles and what classes & ID's are... etc... then get more complex covering all the different CSS properties. With each property it proves invaluable tips & tricks, some I've never seen anywhere else, as well as CSS design tips like "CSS tables" instead of traditional tables. It also explains in more detail than other books I've read how to go about positioning content and when positioning is appropriate. Throughout are countless time saving tricks and tips for the vast array of Internet Explorer browsers from IE6 up to IE8. ----- This is a must read for anyone

"bravo!" - by Doug FL on 21-MAR-2011
Reviewer Rating:
Fantastic book that instills in the reader the basics of CSS while making sure include some very powerful uses of CSS. So important for "regular" developers to know about CSS because it changes the way you program! And, for me, I thought I knew CSS - but didn't know enough and that is more dangerous than knowing nothing. It's a great read compared to other css / programming books.
