The CSS Anthology – 3rd edition
About this book
This book is my attempt to pass on the tricks and techniques that allow me to quickly and easily develop Websites and applications using CSS. You won’t find pages and pages of theory in it. What you will find are solutions that will enable you to do the cool stuff today, but which should also act as a starting point for your own creativity and experiments.
The third edition has been updated with real world tips for developing sites that make use of CSS available in newer browsers such as Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 while still considering the fact that a large number of users are using old browsers such as IE6.
