Id like to know what books or otherwise learning references you would recommend for a newby as far as the latest CSS edition goes?
I realize the net is full of sources.Just want opinions on books(dvds or cds would be great),etc.
Remember im a newby.
There are a lot of great books out there.
Elizabeth Castro-"HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTMl & CSS: 5th Ed.
Jeffrey Zeldman-"Designing With Web Standards"
Eric Meyer-"Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide"
Hakon Wium Lee & Bert Bos-"Cascading Style Sheets: Designing For the Web, 5th Edition." These guys are the co-creators of CSS.
Hope that helps.Hey thanks.Im reading Castro(on 5th chap), Im currently (at the moment), studying tables.Specifucally "rowspan", which i find a tad confusing.
Im also studying the following with training cds:
XHTML
CSS
FLASH
DREAMWEAVER
Im looking for novice buddies to cofer with on msn messenger.
Send me a PM if interested. Thanks for the data its been copied.Good night.
Check my sig. They're roughly the same as asmyth recommended. Generally speaking things like rowspan and colspan find more use with table-based page layouts, a technique considered obsolete in the 21st century.Hmmm, Castro's book tells you that the DOCTYPE is optional. That doesn't make me very confident about the rest of the information in her book.yea they all sound worthy of reading. Lately Im checking the publishing or copyright date since i tend to wind-up with books from say 2000.Gona check some dates and find some recent books for stuff.Ill be beck and post the dates and books here.
Well I went to amazon.com and did searches with keywords:css,XHTML,etc.by year 2005, and best selling.Came up with a whole lot of books.I tried posting the links here , but when i clicked it in the post i got nada.Anyway the books mentioned were all in there.Especially Zeldman.The new book by Cederhom called "Bulletproof Web Design - Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS" is also a nice pick - even for newbies.

The page I'm looking at says,
To start a trasitional HTML 4 page:
1. Type <!DOCTPE HTML PUBLIC . . . loose.dtd"> to declare that you're using transitional HTML 4.01 in your Web page.He's referring to page 61 in the online preview of that book.Yup. Oddly enough she does state that the DOCTYPE is required in XHTML, as if the DOCTYPE being optional was one of those differences between XHTML and HTML. Somewhere along the way she got very confused. This is why finding reputable authors is very important. Everyone else you have no real way of knowing how well they actually know the subject that they claim to teach. And then their misconceptions are passed on to you.
