About this product

Product Information

Web site design has grown up. Unlike the old days, when designers cobbled togetherchunky 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 CSSisn't just a tool to pretty up your site; it's a reliable method for handling allkinds of presentation--from fonts and colors to page layout. "CSS: The MissingManual" clearly explains this powerful design language and how you can use it tobuild sparklingly new Web sites or refurbish old sites that are ready for an upgrade.Like their counterparts in print page-layout programs, style sheets allowdesigners to apply typographic styles, graphic enhancements, and precise layoutinstructions to elements on a Web page. Unfortunately, due to CSS's complexity andthe many challenges of building pages that work in all Web browsers, most Web authorstreat 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 frustratinglycomplicated. 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 navigatethe 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: TheMissing Manual") combines crystal-clear explanations, real-world examples, a dashof humor, and dozens of step-by-step tutorials to show you ways to design sites withCSS that work consistently across browsers. You'll learn how to: Create HTML that's simpler, uses less code, is search-engine friendly, andworks well with CSSStyle text by changing fonts, colors, font sizes, and adding bordersTurn simple HTML links into complex and attractive navigation bars-completewith CSS-only rollover effects that add interactivity to your Web pagesStyle images to create effective photo galleries and special effects likeCSS-based drop shadowsMake HTML forms look great without a lot of messy HTMLOvercome the most hair-pulling browser bugs so your Web pages work consistentlyfrom browser to browserCreate complex layouts using CSS, including multi-column designs that don'trequire using old techniques like HTML tablesStyle Web pages for printingUnlike competing books, this Missing Manual doesn't assume that everyone in theworld only surfs the Web with Microsoft's Internet Explorer; our book providessupport for all major Web browsers and is one of the first books to thoroughlydocument the newly expanded CSS support in IE7, currently in beta release.Want to learn how to turn humdrum Web sites into destinations that will captureviewers and keep them longer? Pick up "CSS: The Missing Manual" and learn thereal magic of this tool.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

    Excellent: clear writing with many screen examples

    This book is titled CSS: The Missing Manual, from Pogue Press / O'Reilly. This is an excellent CSS book for beginners. The writing is clear, the subjects are well-organized, and the examples are many and well-illustrated by the screenshots. The author points out differences in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari where needed. The topics covered included: the cascading hierarchy; text formatting; margins and borders;placement of graphics; building nav bars without Javascript; formatting tables and forms; building float layouts with sidebars, banners, and multiple columns; and positioning elements. I found this CSS book is far better than Eric Meyers' CSS Definitive Guide, also from O'Reilly.

    How to use CSS simplified

    This is a great book. All of the missing manuals are so well written you don't need to be a programmer to get up and running. They explain in clear easy to understand language how to do stuff without confusing you to death. I buy them before most others.

    CSS: The Missing Manual

    Creating websites using html can be very time consuming and somewhat limiting. Making editing changes over multiple pages is downright maddening. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the answer. CSS enables the webmaster to set standards such as selecting a particular font size and color for all headings, subheadings, or texts without having to rewrite the html each time. This system also allows editing changes that carry over from one page to another to be changed automatically with a single change. For those trying to manage websites with hundreds of pages, CSS is an obvious must have. CSS can be undertaken in two ways: manually or in association with various website design programs. Webmasters can manually insert CSS into their existing html code. Doing so is pretty simple, especially for ...
