Yellow butterflyWhat's New In The 3rd Edition?

The world of CSS is changing. Firstly, we have more browsers to support: IE6 to IE8, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome. Now you may think at first that means more compatibility issues, but actually the new browsers are all very capable and that means is that we can use more advanced CSS in our work -- more advanced selectors, more properties, and less JavaScript. And if you don't know what a selector is, don't worry, it's right there in chapter 1.

Rachel has updated each chapter to reflect these changes. As usual, Rachel, takes a highly pragmatic approach so you can be assured that all the solutions in her book are reliable enough to be used today. If there are any compatibility pitfalls the solutions indicate which browsers you'll have trouble with. Yes, that means there are a lot of IE6 warnings.

IE6, and to some extent IE7, are the most troublesome browsers and Rachel has many clear examples of how to support these older browsers while still being able to employ modern CSS techniques.

If you are beginning your CSS education, or have already begun, this book is a useful and trustworthy companion.
