Links to CSS Resources, Tutorials and Other Stuff

As long as this listing may be, I've cut out a lot of stuff. Most of these pages have links to additional CSS resources. Dig through the links on pages you find useful. Dig through the links on pages you don't find useful. The idea here is that these folks have already dug through a lot of pages and found the really good stuff. Of course, you can always go to Google and search for: (1) "css tutorial" (947,000 hits); or (2) "css" (13,100,000 hits), as I did just out of curiosity one rainy day.

And please remember that poorly constructed markup (HTML or XHTML) will often play havoc with your CSS. If you need help with your markup, some of the links on my Web references page may help. (Although that page is long past due for an update...after I finish this one.)

checkmark The check mark indicates either (1) sites that I personally have found very helpful or (2) sites that a lot of other folks involved with CSS often refer to.

Books

Check the "companion" Web sites for errata. On many of these books, you can also download code for the books' examples.

Books — A list from the W3C.
Briggs, Owen et. al., Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation, 2^nd Edition, Apress, 2004 This new edition contains a separate chapter on styling tables. Companion Web site.
Godin, Seth, The Big Red Fez, Fireside, 2001."How To Make Any Web Site Better." (No companion Web site that I could find.) — Web marketing is not my bag, so I haven't read this one. It has gotten very good reviews and is often mentioned on mailing lists when people ask for book recommendations.
Krug, Steve, Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, New Riders, 2000. Here's the author's Web site.
Meyer, Eric A., Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2^nd Edition, O'Reilly, 2004. Just published. This is the one book to own if you own only one! (The first edition has been my "bible.") Companion Web site.
Meyer, Eric A., Eric Meyer on CSS: Mastering the Language of Web Design, New Riders, 2003. Relatively expensive, full-color volume of various projects in which the author takes us step by step from raw HTML to finished CSS-styled page. Worth the price, but save it for later. Companion Web site.
Meyer, Eric A., More Eric Meyer on CSS, New Riders, 2004. A sequel to the previously listed item. Companion Web site.
Shafer, Dan, HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables Using CSS, Sitepoint, 2003. A CSS "cookbook" with many examples. Very complete appendix listing CSS properties and values. (Unfortunately, the worst index I have ever seen in a professional, technical publication. As do many technical publications, the book has its own Web site. There is an "Errata" section. To my amazement, one year after its publication, there is nothing in this section. I have just begun this book and have found several errors, mostly in mislabeled figures. I list this book here, my negativity notwithstanding, because it has gotten good reviews and is mentioned positively on CSS mailing lists.) Companion Web site.
Zeldman, Jeffrey, Designing With Web Standards, New Riders, 2003. Considered by many to be essential reading. Zeldman provides a keen insight into the need for Web standards. He also covers XHTML, CSS and the problems in dealing with today's browsers. Written with a sense of humor. Companion Web site.

Dealing with Internet Explorer

CSS tests — Covers some of the Win/IE's CSS incompatibilities.
"Escaping Margins" bug [#1]

Float: The Bugs (The IE float model)
IE 5/Win: "moving" margins [#1]
IE 5/Win: "moving" margins [#2]
IE7/compatibility/ — "IE7 invokes a DHTML behavior to load and parse all style sheets into a form that Explorer can understand. You can then use most CSS2 selectors without having to resort to CSS hacks." I'm not sure I understand this well enough to explain. Take a look. Has gotten a lot of attention on mailing lists.
Multiple IEs in Windows — The various Windows OSs will not let you install more than one version of Internet Explorer. But if you want to check your designs against other versions, this site will tell you how to install multiple versions of IE.

Layout / Positioning

3 Column Layout — "any order, fixed-width or liquid flanking columns, liquid header, full-width footer, absolutely positioned"
Advanced CSS Layouts – Step by Step
Box model bugs — Very interesting page which demonstrates both Internet Explorer's incorrect rendering of the CSS box model and the importance of including the !DOCTYPE declaration to overcome this problem. This page (as I view it today) does not include the !DOCTYPE, and IE gets it wrong. Save the page on your system, add the !DOCTYPE declaration and IE's rendering is correct.
Box Model Hack — Dealing with browsers which do not apply the CSS "box model" correctly.
Colored boxes... — "...one method of building full CSS layouts....This article explains one method of building a full CSS layout from start to finish. The method, based on positioning colored boxes and testing across a range of browsers, can be used to build a wide range of full-CSS layouts."
Containing Floats
css crib sheet — "...quirky layout issues...This is an attempt to make the design process easier, and provide a quick reference to check when you run into trouble."
CSS Floats, Part I
CSS Floats, Part II
CSS Layouts — "Practical CSS." This site intends "to stand on the shoulders" of CSS ZenGarden by providing an HTML template that anyone can style with CSS. "The CSS Zen Garden designs are wonderful, but you can't easily apply them to your own website. This functionality gap is what the Practical CSS project will try to fill."
CSS layout techniques
CSS Layout Techniques: for Fun and Profit — Two-, three- and four-column layouts. Links to tutorials and other resources.
CSS Layout Templates

CSS Positioning, Part I
CSS Positioning, Part II
CSS TEMPLATES — text in German but useable examples with CSS code provided.
Dead Centre — Center a "box" vertically on a page. The page contains an explanation of how this is done, but "View source" may add a little more.
(Examples of CSS layouts) — "I built the following templates for use on dynamic web sites and portals. The CSS is very generic, object-oriented, and designed for database-driven applications." Layouts from simple to complex. To get at the code, you'll have to "View Source" and then dig through the various stylesheets. Worth the effort if any of these layouts are what you're looking for.
Exploring the Limits of CSS Layout — Maybe the title should be "Exploring Some of the Limits..." This is a publisher's Web site, laden with ads and promotions. But the article is worth a read.
Faux Columns — "[C]reate a layout with two equally tall columns when a unique background color is desired for each column." Useful technique to overcome the CSS limitation of making columns no taller than they need to be to contain their content.
Flexible Layouts with CSS Positioning

Floatutorial: Step by step CSS float tutorial."
Layout-o-matic — Online tool to create CSS layouts. You can choose among four layouts: full- page; two-column, left sidebar; two-column, right sidebar; three-column. Other options. Download the HTML file with CSS code and HTML intact.
The Layout Reservoir — Two- and three-column layouts.
Little Boxes — Examples of sixteen layouts along with the CSS code that makes them work.
NN4-compatible XHTML/CSS 3 column layouts — Netscape version 4.x presents many challenges to CSS coders because of its poor CSS implementation. It appears that there is a large enough Netscape 4 audience to warrant articles like this one, which treat one aspect of dealing with Netscape 4.x. (Netscape versions 6 and 7 are much more CSS compliant.)
Page layout using CSS — "a very simple example." Links to other Web resources, as well.
Piefecta – A superb 3-col tableless layout — Mind boggling!
