Of course, there are other times when it makes you want to cry... [quote]BTW, I think it's time I invested in a proper textbook about CSS, rather than just trying to pick it up as I go along. Can anyone recommend a suitable book?[/quote] Well, I'm afraid I won't be much help here. Personally, I think "picking it up as you go along" is a perfectly good way of learning CSS. There are a ton of good resources online (for starters, try searching for "CSS" in the FAQ), and you can always fall back on [url=http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/]the specs[/url]. Granted, they can be pretty cryptic at times, but once you get a good grasp of CSS they are invaluable. The only book I ever bought for web purposes was a JavaScript book. HTML, CSS, PHP, etc., I all learned by following online tutorials and resources and just plowing ahead. I don't really think you need a book for these things, but maybe that's just me. I know some people prefer having books. So, if you're going to go that route, I would recommend anything by Eric Meyer. I'm not sure what he's written, but I know he's written on CSS. I only know him from his web presence, but if his books are half as good as what he has on his site, they'll be worth the money.

Like I said, I haven't read them, but they've gotten good reviews, more or less.] [Edit: Oh, snap--I almost forgot. Maybe you've seen this already, but I just can't get enough of it. It's a superb source of inspiration and a great repository of real-world CSS examples: [url=http://www.csszengarden.com/]CSS Zen Garden[/url]. Chances are that you've seen this link before, because I tend to post it an awful lot. Can't help it--it's just that good.] ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] Loading...
