Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide April 29, 2005
 |
After a bit of research, I found that this book is one of the standards for the topic. From the publisher:
This is also timely because I need to learn some new CSS/HTML skizzles for a numer of new websites I want to develop. One is for a friend, another for the San Diego I/O Psychology professional association I just helped form, and the third is for a private project I've been kicking around for a while. You see, now that I quit World of Warcraft I can actually do these kinds of things.Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the HTML 4.0-approved method for controlling visual presentation on web pages. This comprehensive guide to CSS and CSS1 explores in detail each property, how individual properties interact, how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation. For both beginning and advanced web authors, this is the first major CSS title to address actual current browser support, rather than the way things work in theory.

Both nice compliments to Meyer (and a little less dry).

Cool, thanks! I'll add those to my list. I'm a few chapters in so far and I've already discovered what I think will be the main theme for the book: CSS does a bunch of stuff that's really cool, but that I will never even want to do. You can use CSS to make the first line of every paragraph in all caps? Neat! Pointless! :)
