Publisher:Apress2007 |494 Pages | ISBN: 1590598040 | PDF | 10 MB

Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns is a reference book and a cookbook on how to style web pages using CSS and XHTML. It contains 350 ready–to–use patterns (CSS and XHTML code snippets) you can copy and paste into your code. Each pattern can be combined with other patterns to create an unlimited number of solutions.

Each pattern works reliably in all major browsers without the need for browser hacks.

The book shows how to

Code CSS and XHTML

Turn HTML into XHTML

Use CSS Selectors

Use six CSS Box Models

Create rounded corners, shadows, gradients, sprites, and transparency

Replace text with images without affecting accessibility

Style text with fonts, highlights, decorations, and shadows

Create flexible, fluid layouts

Position elements with absolute pixel precision

Stack elements in layers

Size, stretch, shrinkwrap, indent, align, and offset elements

Style tables with borders and alternating striped rows

Size table columns automatically

Integrate CSS and JavaScript without embedding JavaScript in XHTML

Create drop caps, callouts, quotes, and alerts

The book’s layout, with a pattern’s example on the left page and its explanation on the right, makes it easy to find a pattern and study it without having to flip between pages. The book is also readable from cover to cover, with topics building carefully upon previous topics.

A software developer can use this book to learn CSS for the first time. A designer familiar with CSS can use this book to master CSS and XHTML. If you are completely new to coding or completely new to CSS and XHTML, you may want to read an introductory book on CSS and XHTML first.

You can interact with all the examples in the book at www.cssDesignPatterns.com.
