Hay all,

I've started a personal site (Steve's Miscellany http://stevesmiscellany.8bit.co.uk) and have started to design, but it has struck me that I really want to learn CSS to use on my new site. Does anyone know of a good site that has a section on how to learn CSS? I tried my usual source "The World Wide Web Consortium" and they advise some books, but I can't be arsed to spend any money to learn CSS. Any and all suggestions are much appreciated.

S.A.

I doubt it - Netscape and IE don't support it either. I just thought it was a nice little effect without having to resort to a GIF or JPEG.

Oh, well ...

I just got Mozilla and I have to say that I preferrer it to IE, but only if it is on the Modern Colour scheme, the classic looks awful!

More advanced.

Pffffft.

They just couldn't be bothered to make it user friendly.

Fortunately, I got the advice of doing it in Mozilla from a website a while ago ...

"Build and test your CSS in the most advanced browser available before testing in others, not after.

If you build a site testing in a broken browser, your code begins relying on the broken rendering of that browser. When it comes time to test in a more standards-compliant browser, you will be frustrated when that browser renders it improperly. Instead, start from perfection and then hack for the less able browsers. Your code will be more standards-compliant from the start, and you won’t have to hack as much to support other browsers. Today, this means Mozilla, Safari, or Opera."

I'm not sulking.

Who said I'm sulking.

It's stupid though, Mr Mozilla needs a slap, why do they have to be awkward. Grrrrrrrr.

Now I gotta redo all of the site because of him...

Not that it was any good anyway.

*sulks*
