  • Tips for tackling browser–compatibility issues as well as developing functional navigational structures

  • Ways to customize a web site through CSS coding

  • How to create HTML e–mail templates, basic HTML table layouts, and how CSS plays a role in both

  • The importance of grids and layouts in design

5.0 out of 5 stars These CSS books are getting better and better, 18 Aug 2005
By Mr. Shane Porter "shaneporter66" (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There have been quite a few CSS-related books released of late, a trend that is following the larger number of sites build with web standards.

Whereas a book such as 'Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook' by Dan Cederholm is great, this book excels because of its examination of standards built sites such as blogger.com and the us pga tour golf site.

There are a large number of examples, and the book is generally well written.
