About the Book

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is poised to make its mark on the Web. With good implementations in Internet Explorer 5.0 and Opera 3.6, and 100% support expected in Netscape's "Mozilla" browser, signs are that CSS is rapidly becoming a useful, reliable, and powerful tool for web authors. CSS is the W3C-approved method for enriching the visual presentation of Web pages. "Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide" offers a complete, detailed review of CSS1 and CSS positioning, as well as an overview of CSS2. Each property is explored in detail with a discussion of how each interacts with other properties. There is also information on how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation. This book covers CSS in a way that both acknowledges and describes current browser support, instead of simply describing the way things work in theory. It offers both Web authors and scripters a comprehensive guide to using CSS effectively. "Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide" targets veteran Web authors who have already invested thousands of hours in learning HTML and writing web pages and are wondering why they need to learn a brand new language of style. The book supplies those dubious but curious Web authors with the information they need to easily implement CSS for their Web site. The book also addresses an audience of novice Web authors who are already straining to learn all of the tags and attributes of HTML and can benefit now from implementing CSS correctly instead of repeating the mistakes of the past.

About the Author :
Eric A. Meyer has been working with the Web since late 1993. He is currently the Hypermedia Systems Manager for Digital Media Services at Case Western Reserve University, Eric has been called "an internationally recognized expert on the subjects of HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)," and he knows a thing or two about other aspects of Web design as well. He is an invited expert and member of the W3C CSS&FP Working Group, coordinates the W3C's CSS Test Suite, remains active on CSS newsgroups, and edits Web Review's Style Sheets Reference Guide. He does as much writing as he can without burning out, and also does his best to keep up with CSS support in popular Web browsers. If you have a taste for early jazz and swing, you can catch his weekly big band radio show over the Internet via WRUW-FM 91.1 in Cleveland. When not otherwise busy, Eric is usually bothering his wife Kat in some fashion.
