anything that will be in a book will be online for free.

if you know about adding styles etc you'll pick it up pretty quick you just have class="whatever" on your <p> or <span> or <a> tags etc then in your css sheet you have

p { FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }

or whatever else you want.

also have a look at other peoples, view source, look where their style sheet is then open it.

Hi

I bought this book a while ago (haven't read it yet!
- Designing without using tables, available at sitepoint.com )

As for resources, this is a good (if basic) tutorial
- http://willmaster.com/a/16/pl.pl?168part

This is a more advance tutorial (designing without tables)
- http://www.sitepoint.com/article/web...bles-parts-1-2

And this site lets you create CSS (and has links
to other useful CSS resources)
- http://www.csscreator.com/

Good luck,

Steve

Hi Elaine,

We've recently converted from designing tables-based sites to complete CSS layouts because of the numerous benefits they offer.

One book which I could not recommend highly enough is "Cascading Style Sheets - Separating Content from Presentation" published by freindsofed. I must have referred to that book everyday for about 6 weeks, so it was well worth the 20 quid I spent on it.

Naturally, there are a couple of good websites that come in handy as well:
- http://www.csszengarden.com/
- http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/resources/
- http://www.glish.com/css/

Good luck with it.

Hey Elaine,

Nobody's mentioned this one yet and it's one of my favourites. Not only do you see lots of inspirational css sites but it has a great resources section which has helped me loads.
