The CSS Cookbook cuts straight through the theory to provide hundreds of useful examples and CSS code recipes you can use immediately to format your web pages. Reflecting CSS2 and including topics that range from basic web typography and page layout to techniques for formatting lists, forms, and tables, the CSS Cookbook is a must-have resource for any web author who has even considered using CSS.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple standardized system that gives designers extensive control over the presentation of their web pages. CSS is an essential component of web design today. Compared to 90's-era workarounds, web builders have greater control over a web site's design and spend less time editing and maintaining that design. CSS also extends beyond the traditional web design to design and control the look of a web page when it's printed. This book is a collection of CSS-based solutions to common web design problems. The solutions range from the simple to the complex, but hopefully everyone will learn something from this book. CSS is easy to use: it doesn't demand any special hardware or software. The basic requirements are a computer, a modern browser like Mozilla or Internet Explorer for Windows (to name a few), and your favorite web page editor. A web page editor could be anything from a simple text editor like Window's Notepad or Macintosh's SimpleText to a full-fledged WYSIWYG tool like Macromedia Dreamweaver in code view.
