CSS Hacks and Filters : Making Cascading Stylesheets Work

by Joseph W. Lowery

This book is one of the most fun books on CSS we've seen. Testing some of these hacks really opens some interesting twists to the CSS spec. They're all written clearly and the book follow a clear, easy to understand format that's uniform throughout.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a method of describing how a Web page should look in a Web browser, but a growing number of browsers do not support CSS in the same way, forcing developers to constantly play catch-up to keep their sites consistent

Bestselling author Joe Lowery eases the pain for those Web developers who aren't feeling the CSS love-he guides readers through real-world workarounds that will help a CSS-based site look and work the way it was meant to

Readers will grit their teeth, clench their fists, and roll their eyes for the last time once they learn how to craft fluid multi-column layouts, build interactive navigation, fix the Box Model, implement CSS hacks in Dreamweaver, and more cool tricks.
