Redesigning Splash of Style

November 12, 2005 by debbie T | CSS • Web Design

I have been working for the past two days on the site redesign. I have most of it finished, but there is a big snafu on the single pages, where the side bar is not contained in the main division tag.

Oh well, back to the drawing board tomorrow.

UPDATE: After some research I found a web page that helped solve the problem I was having with containing floats within my division.

I chose to add the “clear: all” declaration to the footer id selector. It seems to work.

What an insightful article from Evolt.org - Ten CSS Tricks You May Not Know. Some I was familiar with, but there were a couple of new tidbits as well.

Update: The article was critiqued by Tantek’s Thoughts.

Eric Meyer Interview

April 22, 2004 by debbie T | CSS • Web Development

A really great interview - Web Standards Group - Ten Questions for Eric Meyer.

I have just started to read the new “More Eric Meyer on CSS” book, and am enjoying it. Can’t wait to try the last chapter!! I might have to skip over to get to it soon!

It is also intriguing to hear him talk about the new edition of the CSS Definitive Guide” book. That is one of my all time favorite books. I didn’t think about getting it until I read about all the changes!

Eric Meyer rocks!

MACCAWS

Word is out and I want to remember the MACCAWS site for future reference. I know it will come in handy. “Making A Commercial Case for Adopting Web Standards” is a resource for web developers and clients alike.

Thanks Ranjan and Farron.

CSS - The Definitive Guide

November 23, 2003 by debbie T | Books • CSS • Web Development

The book Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer is a bit older (published in 2000) but the content still stands up today. This is an excellent guide to learning the in’s and out’s of css. Everything in CSS 1 (and a fair amount of CSS2) is included with detailed explanations and examples.

It can be read chronologically or in bits and pieces learning only the areas you are interested in. I highly recommend this book!
