| "Style. Flair. Panache. These
characteristics are associated with standing out
from the crowd, distinguishing unique individuals
that have a special knack for doing things. On
the Internet, where anyone has a chance to be
someone special, its sometimes necessary to use
every trick available in order to make Web pages
and resources stand out amidst the teeming masses
of online information." This book covers Cascading Style
Sheets, level 1. Find out why more and more Web
sites are embracing CSS - the history, the
principles, examples, "guided tours",
and more - it's all here.
What's the difference
between style guidelines and style sheets? And
where does DHTML fit in?
If you want to start using
CSS, "jump head first" - follow the examples
provided by the writers; modify the code to suit
your own taste.
I particularly liked the
guided tour of "the seven style sheet
wonders - real
examples of how CSS are used to extremely good
effect". The Time Magazine
case study is most revealing.
The companion CD-ROM includes useful
materials:
Hyperlinks to CSS sites; sample code;
evaluation versions of 6 packages of styled
software.
You get the opportunity to contact the writers
