Description

• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a Web markup standard that allows Web developers to define styles to apply to items on thousands of Web pages, rather than marking up the formatting of each item individually
• The fantastically successful first edition introduced readers to Richard York's unparalleled CSS skills and this edition offers updates for Firefox 2, Internet Explorer, and other browsers with improved CSS support
• Uses a standardized approach to CSS in an example-packed, step-by-step format, with all of the book's examples in full-color screen shots
• The new color layout in this edition shows readers full-color results and uses color as a teaching tool in emphasizing coding techniques
• Other key enhancements to this edition include updated discussions of new Web browser versions (Internet Explorer 7 and others) and their CSS improvements
