Product Description
Web site design has grown up. Unlike the old days, when
designers cobbled together chunky HTML, bandwidth-hogging graphics, and a
prayer to make their sites look good, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) now lets
your inner designer come out and play. But CSS isn't just a tool to pretty
up your site; it's a reliable method for handling all kinds of
presentation-from fonts and colors to page layout. CSS: The Missing Manual
clearly explains this powerful design language and how you can use it to
build sparklingly new Web sites or refurbish old sites that are ready for
an upgrade.
Like their counterparts in print page-layout programs, style sheets allow
designers to apply typographic styles, graphic enhancements, and precise
layout instructions to elements on a Web page. Unfortunately, due to CSS's
complexity and the many challenges of building pages that work in all Web
browsers, most Web authors treat CSS as a kind of window-dressing to spruce
up the appearance of their sites. Integrating CSS with a site's underlying
HTML is hard work, and often frustratingly complicated. As a result many of
the most powerful features of CSS are left untapped. With this book,
beginners and Web-building veterans alike can learn how to navigate the
ins-and-outs of CSS and take complete control over their Web pages'
appearance.
Author David McFarland (the bestselling author of O'Reilly's Dreamweaver:
The Missing Manual) combines crystal-clear explanations, real-world
examples, a dash of humor, and dozens of step-by-step tutorials to show you
ways to design sites with CSS that work consistently across browsers.
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
*
