Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables Using CSS, 2nd Edition is for web developers looking to create websites using Cascading Style Sheets for layout, which allow for faster page downloads, easier maintenance, faster website redesigns, and better search engine optimization.

HTML Utopia covers all aspects of using Cascading Style Sheets in Web Development, and is a must-read for Web Developers designing new sites or upgrading existing ones to use CSS layouts.

This book includes one of the most comprehensive CSS2 references on the market. Jeffrey Zeldman, web design guru and co-founder of the Web Standards Project, says "After reading this book, you will not only understand how to use CSS to emulate old-school, table-driven web layouts, you will be creating websites that would be impossible to design using traditional methods".

The second edition of this popular book includes brand new coverage of Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 1.1, new CSS Solutions, and greatly expanded coverage of popular, cross-browser, CSS layout techniques. From The Back Cover

"Now You Too Can Easily Create Modern 'Table-free' Websites Using CSS from scratch"

Rachel Andrew and Dan Shafer's book is a comprehensive guide to learning and applying the principles of CSS to your Website.

This book will teach you how to

  • Write faster loading, dramatically smaller pages
  • Speed up site maintenance by separating the content from the layout
  • Create flexible 3-column designs with ease
  • Write device-independent CSS that will work on everything from a PC to an internet refridgerator
  • Write search engine friendly pages that can actually be understood by search engines
  • Design sites that are standards compliant
  • Accomodate older Web Browsers
  • And much more...

Book News Annotation:

Even though cited on the cover as "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to CSS", this book, focused on CSS, does require a thorough understanding of HTML. CSS is a standard which provides a descriptive language to control the structure and appearance (fonts, colors, text effects, etc.) of web pages. It potentially makes website programs much cleaner and condensed--much of the clutter of embedded tables can be eliminated. Coverage includes the basics of CSS rules, how to integrate CSS into HTML documents, and available controls over fonts, colors, text effects and styling. The final chapters provide detailed examples of various page layouts: simple two column, three column, and fixed width. There is an appendix with a detailed explanation of each CSS property and an adequate index.
