Can anyone suggest any good sites or books that will help me learn CSS? Also, how much HTML knowledge do you need? I'm pretty good, but not advanced.
Hai! My dear friend try this link http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp you will be become the updated css learner
Cascading Style Sheet its a file that goes along with web development that holds diffrest style settings. a style of HEADING may have bold font with a certain font type and size on it. and instead of having to format all the text manually on a page you can use the styles available in the sheet to automate the display of text... for example i could add a <Font face=verdanda size=5>mytext</font> id have to put that around all my text or i could use the style sheet. <Font face=verdanda size=5>mytext</font> you will need a little to use it depending on the program, a freen web page editor i always use is HTML kit from chami.com
Try these sites. I find the best information on the web. thescripts.com http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ www.htmlgoodies.com Always validate your html/xhtml/css via the w3c.org validators. You should start learning about xhtml and focus on using css in place of using html tables. css renders faster than tables and gives more control over your site design. Good luck. www.bludogwebstudio.com
i found this book very handy teach yourself css in 10 minutes by russ weakley also, have a look here http://www.vordweb.co.uk/css/css-guide.htm with reguards to html knowledge, you will also need knowledge of at the very least 'div' tags http://www.htmldog.com/guides/htmlintermediate/spandiv/
There are three books that I consider essential if you want to learn good, standards-compliant CSS: Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman Web Standards Solutions by Dan Cederholm Eric Meyer on CSS by Eric A. Meyer These books are so well known and respected in the Web design community that they are sometimes referred to by their color rather than title. You can buy them used on Amazon for a fraction of the retail price. Each of those authors has a Web site with further information on CSS, but the single best online resource for studying CSS is the CSS Zen Garden: http://www.csszengarden.com The examples there will show you how much can be done with CSS - each example uses the same HTML file, but a different CSS file. Good luck! Learning CSS is definitely worth it.
