CSS: The Missing Manual

This book 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. 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. Create complex layouts using CSS, including multi-column designs that do not require using old techniques like HTML tables and turn simple HTML links into complex and attractive navigation bars-complete with CSS-only rollover effects that add interactivity to your Web pages, and style images to create effective photo galleries and special effects like CSS-based drop shadows.
