About this title: Simply put, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to separate a document's structure from its presentation. The benefits of this can be quite profound: CSS allows a much richer document appearance than HTML and also saves time - you can create or change the appearance of an entire document in just one place; and its compact file size makes web pages load quickly. "CSS: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition" provides you with a comprehensive guide to CSS implementation, along with a thorough review of all aspects of CSS 2.1. Updated to cover Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's vastly improved browser ...

"Meyer explains the fairly complex and non-intuitive structure of CSS with clarity. CSS is a language of design, but it is completely non-visual in it's raw form. Meyer's book has helped me to understand the rules of CSS so that I can focus on the actual usage of the language. It makes for an excellent reference book, also."
"I picked up this book because I was so impressed with the JavaScript guide from O'Reilly. Unfortunately, my satisfaction did not carry through to this book. This book fails me both as a desk reference and as a tutorial. It is very difficult to succeed when attempting to find a particular tag or detail on CSS in this book (the index is sparse and skimming is difficult). Reading straight through as a tutorial is also frustrating, as the topics do not build upon each other. I had hoped the book would start out with some simple examples in structuring a page layout, and lead into more detail from there. Instead, each topic is covered first in exhaustive detail, and only in exhaustive detail. This makes using the samples very difficult."
"I have been programming for over a decade now, but mainly focused on back end technologies. Thus, I have never really taken the time to learn Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). CSS, as it turns out, was the last core web technology in widespread use that I still had not yet learned. A project came up for work that demanded me to jump into CSS, so I purchased this O'Reilly title. I am a huge fan of O'Reilly work... my bookshelves are sagging with O'Reilly titles. I didn't really have the time to sit back and savor this read, as my work demanded I just gulp it down.
I have to say, I sincerely enjoyed this gulp. Eric Meyer is a web standards guru, and really, really understands CSS to its core. I fully admit my geekness and say that anyone who can break down a technology the way Eric did for CSS can hold my attention for 450 pages, no problem.
I did come away with a healthy appreciation for how complex good CSS can be for a sophisticated web site that is expected to work across all mainstream web browsers. With the guide, though, I came away with the tools to manage it.
I highly recommend this book to any programmer looking to create good looking websites."
