Book Overview (from the publisher)

Easily incorporate Cascading Style Sheets into your Web designs, using them to control Web page elements such as fonts, colors, and spacing. Cascading Style Sheets: A Beginners Guide uses real-world examples to illustrate the essential principles of the CSS syntax, and how they structure and present Web content. Learn to create inline, embedded, and external style sheets; use properties and values to influence Web page appearance; and explore CSS design models so that you can develop Web sites and page layouts with style sheets.

Technology trainer and Web site designer James Pence clearly presents the Cascading Style Sheet essentials for programmers and Web designers, including structuring content for cross-browser presentation, building designs using selectors and declarations, and XML integration.
