A good read, but longer than 10 minutes.
Not sure where "10 minute guide" came from, nor the note on the cover "Embed style sheets with the Active X Control Pad," but nonetheless a good overview of style sheets for those comfortable withHTML.

I just skimmed through in 5 mins, and I knew CSS thouroughly
Very great book, I learned so quickly and throughoghly.I'm reccomending this book to everyone who wants to learn CSS.It's worth the money, not only as a learning tool, but as a quick reference.Really, im not joking,buy this book!

Gets you up to speed fast.
This book was quite well laid out, and will quickly get you up to speed in understanding and using cascading style sheets.Not in-depth, but very good for an introduction.Could concentrate a bit more on cross-browsercompatibility, but well above the standard fare.

Poor value technically but pretty.
Don't be seduced by this book's lavish cover or large-format, its 60-pagecolor section or the considerable writing experience of the three authors.This book's potentially timely and valuable information is crippled by thepublisher's decision to get this book on the shelves without benefit of theleast editorial proofing.

Page after page of obvious problems completelyundermine your confidence in the technical content. Statements like"The Times font is probably the most commonly used font written inlanguages using Arabic letters." (p114) surely won't convince you thatthe authors have something to teach you in the way of fontfaces.

Poorlythought-out and unimaginative illustrations have only a tenuous relation totext. Sometimes they have no relation. On p105, the authors"illustrate" the block nature of a list-item with a picture ofFelix the Cat in a non-browser window labelled "Animated Gifs".Another example shows us Lotus Notes instead ofNetscape.

It is clearthat technical facts have not been thoroughly checked. This is veryimportant in an area where published standards are not completelyimplemented and there are wide variations in the type of implementationacross browsers and platforms. We are told that "font size (sic) andfont weight (tsk tsk) are abbreviated using the slash (12pt/14pt)." No, font-size and line-height are abbreviated that way.

The book ispoorly indexed, but that is normal for computer books. What is abnormal isthat the color section, about one-third of the book, has not been indexedat all! Especially amusing was the 5 full-color pages gushing about TimeMagazine's exemplary use of style sheets *without one line* of code to backup the authors' esteem.

No, this is one beautiful book best admired fromafar. ... Read more

A simple-but-handy tools for web developers
Even if you are proficient in HTML coding and can whip out a page in Notepad in a single leap there is always some arcane tag, especially if you are using stylesheets, that will send you to a reference book or web site. This handy foldout takes up almost no space and provides a ready reference to virtually any tag you need, including full syntax and examples.

The font size is 9 points, which is larger than some reference cards, but still tiny. However, the amount of information crammed on these foldouts is amazing, and made all the more useful by clever use of color coding to ensure you are developing pages that are as compliant as possible with W3C standards - or at least know which browsers will or will not be able to display certain tags. Using color codes and boxes you'll know at a glance if your page will support any of the following: Netscape 4?6, Internet Explorer 4?6, W3.org standards, HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, CSS2. Since Opera, another popular browser, can spoof sites into thinking it's Internet Explorer its exclusion from the compatibility codes is not a critical oversight.

If you do web page development I highly recommend this card, and also recommend visiting the publisher's web site (ASIN B00006CP7C), which contains a wealth of information on usability, colors and topics of interest to all developers from beginner to professional. ... Read more

great web bacis
This book is wonderful for those wanting to learn the basics of Web design. The book explains the terms in easy to understand language along with easy to do and learn exercises. The way each chapter adds on the what you learned the chapters before really helps a person to understand the flow of creating a Web Page.

Great Book
This book is great, it talks in strait english. The only minus is, it has no glossary, but the abbreviationscan be found on the internet.

Great Intro / Refresher Book
Best intro to web book I have seen - as far as xhtml, css, and getting graphics ready for the web. It is the book used for my class and I am glad this is what was chosen. It does not get into design really - it is mainly focused on marking up and using css to manipulate the markup. Previously I thought the Heads Up series book was the best intro (due to it's active learning method) but I really think this is the best intro now. Hopefully she keeps this updated as things change.

Really good for beginners.
The book is very helpful for beginners. Written by an industry professional, and gives you more relevant information to web coding, such as dealing with browsers and different audiences, rather than code only. Again, this is for beginners, so don't expect to learn all of XHTML after reading this book. It's a good start though.

Excellent Beginner or Student Book
I teach introductory web design in an art college's continuing education program and this is the book I started recommending to my students (who are often artists, writers or designers wanting to develop basic web design skills) after one of my students purchased it as a HTML/CSS reference book. This book is ideal for a complete beginner, more advanced web students may need or want something more sophisticated.

Here's why I recommend Learning Web Design to my beginner students:

1) The book is in color. Most (possibly all) of the HTML and CSS reference books my students buy are in black and white. For creative, non-technical folks, this can be a challenge--wading through page after page of black and white text can be mind-numbing. The design of the book uses color to indicate key pieces of code, etc, which is very helpful for beginners.

2) The book doesn't cover everything--and doesn't pretend to. It thoroughly discusses the basics of HTML, CSS, web graphics and the process of creating a web site and introduces some intermediate concepts, but really only covers what 90% of beginners need to know.

3) The writing tone is friendly (I like the Dummies Guides for the same reason), which is great for non-technical users.

4) The exercises that accompany each lesson are good, and are nice jumping off points for students.

5) The discussion of graphics is better than in most books I've seen--it seems that a lot of basic web design references drop the ball in this area, probably because they're trying to cover so much material in the HTML & CSS sections. ... Read more

Frustrating!
I swear the author of this book goes out of his way to make its readers feel incompetent. While full of useful information, this book is also just as full of typos and inconsistancies.

Do you want to know how frustrating it is to try and re-create a page using the code given to you in a book, have the page come out looking nothing like the example in said book, then finding out the reason for the discrepency is because the author actually coded their example differently? Well there's plenty of opportunities in this book!

I now have to learn inline CSS which I believe might have been covered to some extent in this book. I can't remember. That's how badly I want to forget this book! I'm sticking with CSS for Dummies!

Great once you know the basics
Use this book once you have Pence's basic HTML book down. It will provide many new tools to spruce up your exist web programming.

great textbook but needs to professional editing
It is a great hands on textbook. The author did a great job conveying concepts. Easy to understand especially talking about codes. However a lot of typing error and project data or instructional errors. Misspelled in a lot of places. Information inconsistency. Requires professional editing services. I think the author should continue to write these book. Pence is a good writer but need to make sure information, data or examples are consistent. It hinders the student when trying to do the projects.

Earnest & Thoughtful, but Repitious and Full of Typos
This book covers basic CSS. It succeeds in offering a very gentle and fairly comprehensive overview of CSS1 features, with some CSS2. However, his constant warning about the lack of robust support for CSS in browsers is somewhat dated and tiring. The book is also full of annoying typos that at times prevent examples from working--a missing period here, a misplaced semi-colon there. Perhaps to make the chapters (called "Modules" here) independent, there is quite a bit of repetition of the same ideas in many chapters. The gradual introduction of CSS syntax and techniques also seems to incourage the author to use examples that mix CSS and traditional html in ways that are not good CSS practice, just apparantely oversimplified examples to make simple points about transitioning from HTML to specific CSS features. That distinction could be lost on a lot beginners who don't get a more solid understanding of how to use CSS to build more complete and consistent pages and websites. I therefore wish the author would have included more comprehensive examples, rather than lots of smaller out-of-context and disconnected ones. This book is not terrible. I just think you could probably do better now. I would give it 2 1/2 stars if I could.

Very good book for CSS Beginners
This book teaches what it claims to teach. It teaches CSS 1 for everyday tasks you would perform. It also teaches you how to create entire layouts using CSS. I strongly recommend this book to those who have just learned HTML and want to go ahead. This book also gives overview of very basics of CSS 2.

The book is well structured and includes hints, tips and other similar helpful stuff along the way.

Of course reading a book does not really make you a master unless you think and work hard yourself as well. So if you know HTML then this shud be your next step. ... Read more

Comprehensive Style Guide for Software Documentation
This is a great book that tackles every aspect of software documentation with enough detail to get you started. Read Me First gives the push you need to begin laying down your own styles. It also reviews some basic grammatical issues that you as a Technical Writer must be aware of. I would recommend using several style guides if your company doesn't already have one. The Microsoft Style Guide is another great reference to consider. Igave this book 5 stars because of its easy to read format.

Good book, poor binding
This book has a lot of useful information. It's a good companion for The Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications. I like to underline and make margin notes but this book won't lie flat enough for these activities without ripping the binding. It has already fallen apart and I'm not even halfway through it. I tried to find a way to contact the publisher but searching for a few minutes found nothing.

excellent chapter about documents with links
Sun offers a style sheet for technical writers. These suggestions are used by Sun in its documents and are a very clean and internally consistent guide. Of course, it is not restricted to descriptions of Sun's products. A lot of care has gone into the guide.

Plus, the suggestions are not just for printed documents. Nowadays, a lot is expressed in languages with links, like HTML or PDF, and the advice pertains here too.

For illustrations, you are shown how to display interactable icons differently from non-interactable images. Subtleties, to be sure. But taking these into consideration makes for a clean document.

On the subject of documents with links, a chapter has cogent suggestions on the proper usage. Like avoiding overlinking, which is a common flaw amongst writers new to this. Also avoid linking with anchor text that is generic, like "click this". Instead, use more descriptive strings to help search engines classify the document that is pointed to. Assuming that both documents will be on the Web. But even if not, they might still be in your internal corporate web, and you might have an internal search engine spidering these. The strings will help the engine better classify both documents. This chapter may be the most vital of the book.

A good book gets even better in 2nd edition
The first edition of this style guide was good, especially if you wanted an alternative to the Microsoft Manual of Style, but this edition is even better. It covers a wider range of issues (for example, adding much information about writing online material), and covers them very well. In fact, the book goes a bit beyond style in an appendix on developing a publications department, but the topics covered are certainly relevant and valuable, so I'm glad they were included. I don't always agree with the style choices, but that's irrelevant; I've never seen any style guide I completely agree with. Overall, I'm so impressed with this book, I'm likely to use it as a textbook for teaching technical editors. As you can tell, I'm giving it the "highly recommended" stamp.

Super Reference Book for Creating a Company Writing Style
This is an excellent book to read if you are in the position of having to create any kind of writing style guides for the company you work for. The book's sections include one on writing style itself and why it is important, working with an editor, working wit illustrations, writing for an international audience, legal guidelines, the "mechanics of writing," creating an index, among others. The book makes some good points and provides an informative reference for writing style questions.

Two small points against it. The CD is difficult at times to use and the Recommended Reading section lists some books that are out of print. Time for an update perhaps?

However, it's still an excellent book to have when having to make decisions about your own company's writing style. When I had to write a Writing Style Guide as a class assignment, this book was one of the ones I used as a reference. ... Read more

Product Description
Simply put, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to separate a document's structure from its presentation. The benefits of this can be quite profound: CSS allows a much richer document appearance than HTML; CSS saves time--you can create or change the appearance of an entire document in just one place; and its compact file size makes web pages load quickly. Eric Meyer, a member of the CSS&FP Working Group and an internationally known expert on HTML and CSS, tackles the subject with passion and delivers a comprehensive and thorough update to his groundbreaking book.

All readers will benefit from both the depth and breadth of his experience and his clear and honest style. Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is a thorough review of all aspects of CSS2.1 and a comprehensive guide to CSS implementation. The book includes new content on positioning, lists and generated content, table layout, user interface, paged media, and more. It explores in detail each individual CSS property and how it interacts with other properties, and shows how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation.

If you're ready to take the next step with your HTML coding and incorporate CSS or are already a CSS code warrior, you'll find Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the book you've been craving.Amazon.com Review
Cascading Style Sheets can put a great deal of control and flexibility into the hands of a Web designer--in theory.In reality, however, varying browser support for CSS1 and lack of CSS2 implementation makes CSS a very tricky topic.Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide is a comprehensive text that shows how to take advantage of the benefits of CSS while keeping compatibility issues in mind.

The book is very upfront about the spotty early browser support for CSS1 and the sluggish adoption of CSS2. However, enthusiasm for the technology spills out of the pages, making a strong case for even the most skeptical reader to give CSS a whirl and count on its future. The text covers CSS1 in impressive depth--not only the syntactical conventions but also more general concepts such as specificity and inheritance.Frequent warnings and tips alert the reader to browser-compatibility pitfalls.

Entire chapters are devoted to topics like units and values, visual formatting and positioning, and the usual text, fonts, and colors.This attention to both detail and architecture helps readers build a well-rounded knowledge of CSS and equips readers for a future of real-world debugging.Cascading Style Sheets honestly explains the reasons for avoiding an in-depth discussion of the still immature CSS2, but covers the general changes over CSS1 in a brief chapter near the end of the book.

When successfully implemented, Cascading Style Sheets result in much more elegant HTML that separates form from function.This fine guide delivers on its promise as an indispensable tool for CSS coders.--Stephen W. Plain

Topics covered:

• HTML with CSS
• Selectors and structure
• Units
• Text manipulation
• Colors and backgrounds
• Boxes and borders
• Visual formatting principles
• Positioning
• CSS2 preview
• CSS case studies

A reference book, not a how-to
This book is not an explanation or tutorial of how to make beautiful pages with CSS. I think the people who give it below 3 stars may have been looking for that, and instead they should try CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions. This book IS, however, a complete reference to all CSS properties and values, and also contains some valuable tips on browser behavior and bugs. If I'm coding along and forget what all the possible values are for list-style-type, this is the book I reach for.

from Eric Myer (the man!) comes a must-have for anyone using CSS
This is the 'go-to' reference for me.The truly ultimate guide to CSS from one of the construct's primary innovators and authors.Mr. Meyer is the most knowledgeable person in the field of CSS, browser compatibility and all around HTML design.

was a great book a couple of years ago
Probably a bit out of date at this point. For me, this book wasn't that useful, since I generally refer to the W3C site for information about CSS. But it's a nice desk reference, and a standard tool for almost all CSS developers. There's probably a new version out by now to address all the developments that have happened in the past couple of years, I would look for that (or wait until one comes out, it won't be long).

At least you won't be wasting a lot of money...
This is not at all what I expected. I already have CSS Pocket Reference: Visual Presentation for the Web (Pocket Reference (O'Reilly)) and find it an excellent comprehensive reference, but the alphabetical ordering of the content can make it hard to discover the context behind certain elements. Also, sometimes I just want to glance at something quick and go 'ah-ha, so those are the font-size options'.

That's not what this card is about at all. In fact, this seems to be more of a quick reference guide to a CSS for Dummies book. For example, almost 1/3 of the first page is devoted to acquiring and running 'TextPad', a text editor for Windows. Every item on the Menu Bar of TextPad is spelled out. Here's a quote: "1. New File, Open File, Save File - standard features on most menu bars; TextPad allows you to customize the default document type". I kid you not. By page 2, they've forgotten all about TextPad and write "Create a new file using Notepad or similar text editor, and save within the web directory as 'anyname'.css"...

This card is written exclusively for IE6. There are a number of typos, like in the 'Defining Styles' section, where paragraph b of the 'Styles with the Same Rules' section is literally "b. [SAMERULES.JPG]". Obviously someone didn't insert the link to the image correctly, and no one bothered to proofread this thing. There's almost nothing about block-level layout or writing cascading styles (this is CSS right?), but an entire section on changing the browser cursor, even listing all the varied cursor types. Yup, that's both well-supported by browsers *and* useful. Sigh. When you think of all the useful information about CSS that could have been crammed on 6 full-color laminated pages, and then look at this product, you want to cry.

I reserve one-star reviews for products that either explode unexpectedly, never had a chance of working due to design, or have customer support provided by Attila the Hun. This quick-reference has none of those features, so two stars for it.

Seriously, if you want a laminated CSS quick reference, download and print one of the excellent PDF quick references off the net and spend a few bucks at the copy shop to have it laminated. If you are just trying to get up to the free shipping amount like I did, there are better box-fillers out there than this card.
