Product Description

Simply put, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to separate a document's structure from its presentation. The benefits of this can be quite profound: CSS allows a much richer document appearance than HTML and also saves time - you can create or change the appearance of an entire document in just one place; and its compact file size makes web pages load quickly. "CSS: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition" provides you with a comprehensive guide to CSS implementation, along with a thorough review of all aspects of CSS 2.1. Updated to cover Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's vastly improved browser, this new edition includes content on positioning, lists and generated content, table layout, user interface, paged media, and more. Author Eric Meyer tackles the subject with passion, exploring in detail each individual CSS property and how it interacts with other properties. You'll not only learn how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation, you also will benefit from the depth and breadth of his experience and his clear and honest style. This is the complete sourcebook on CSS.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference, but don't mistake it for an introduction., 2 Aug 2006

By	J. Wilding "riverman" (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In this fantastically detailed book, Eric Meyer explains the basics of css and systematically elaborates on each css property, their scope, and values. Whilst the book is not designed to be read as a guide or an introduction, it does make an excellent reference for those times when you need definitive information on a particular css property.

If you're looking to learn about css, I wouldn't recommend relying on this book alone; buy yourself a real beginner's guide, and maybe get this as a reference tool for when you need to clarify something. As I learnt more about css, I found often found myself flicking through the book and having moments of realisation when paragraph or two would clarify something I'd read elsewhere. That's the sign of a good reference book.

Some people may find the book a little heavy going to begin with. I don't think the book has been designed with the intention that the reader go through it cover to cover in one go. I found that reading a lot of the book at once left me with a lot of questions: these were answered through practical experience with css, and through other, less detailed, introductions. However, I do feel as though the difficulties I had were a result of my lack of understanding rather than any real problem with the book itself; it's still the one book I'll turn to when the others don't answer my questions.

All in all, this is a great book: it won't walk you through your first steps in css, but it does provide exactly what you need when you're lost and need some real answers. If you're new to css, pair this book up with a well-rated introductory text, and you'll be all set to go. For those who have some practical css experience, I'd recommend this as a great reference tool, without hesitation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not that good a read., 22 April 2008

By	Chunky Wilberforce ""Wilber"" (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I can't fault this book for its content. It does indeed cover the A to Z of CSS. However, I personally found it very dry. I went through it from cover to cover, and the examples etc all worked as stated (in comparison to far too many books out there which are full of errors), however, I have had no real urge to return to it for reference since.

I've given it 4 stars because anything less than that would be criminal. However, it didn't engage me like some of the better CSS books out there.
