What our customer's say!

"Deserves Five Stars", I read this book cover to cover and I found it to be a pleasant read. This book explains CSS in great detail. I liked the author's presentation style. With every chapter, he introduces specific styles, gives example(s) with relevant screenshots of browser display and finally ends it with a tutorial where the reader can see the same in action. It seems to me that this is a very good way to learn something new. The book covers a lot of ground and where applicable presents the differences between browsers for the same set of styles. Specific hacking strategies for IE browser are also included. Another nice feature about this book is that it includes links to external sites that have sample code - I found this to be very useful. There is lot of good information about CSS on the internet, some of which the book does not cover but it points you in the right direction. I will recommend this book to beginners and intermediate users of CSS. This book has impressed me so much that I certainly will not hesitate to buy another book by this author (provided the topic is of interest to me). Deserves Five Stars!!!

"Nice Job ...", The author did a great job of covering all of those items many developers use in their CSS but may not have had the time to review in detail. His book reads well and does a good job of reviewing what's supported in many current browsers, plus what "hacks" may be needed to continue to support IE 6 and below. Very well done ...

"Already proved to be a useful resource!", I was recommended this book by a colleague and it is already proven to be a valuable resource. I had a problem where my DIVs weren't behaving like I wanted them to. And I actually found the answer and it took me just ONE extra selector that knocked my web page in place!!

Now that's worth the money!! I haven't even read the whole book at that point. I highly recommend this book. I'm new to the whole "Missing Manual" series, but can tell that these books are sort of like the "..For Dummies" books.

If you are a CSS designer, I recommend this book. And the cool part about all this is that my boss thinks I'm a CSS Guru, which I'm not, I just know where to go to find the answers!!!

Add this book to your resource library!!

"Truly the missing manual", This is a excellent book to learn CSS, Very detailed, well laid out and McFarland adds more information then just teaching Css; Heck it's like all you need to know really is basic Html.

"Best yet in my quest to become CSS-proficient!", McFarland's book has filled in a lot of missing pieces for me, and a lot of his illustrations have clarified what I have had trouble visualizing from other sources. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book for beginners or intermediate CSS users who want a clearer understanding to take the design process to the next level.

I've been messing around with CSS for a while, but because of some missing details in other sources, I'm using what I've learned to format page elements within tables, never having totally grasped CSS layout concepts, particularly floats. I'm only half way through the book now and have a much clearer understanding of how to solve previous problems.

In addition to being an easy read, the hands-on tutorials have been very helpful. And I love that he's included the hacks to make CSS work in even IE browsers. Many other resources provide only links to websites where you can scrounge around for tutorials.

McFarland provides plenty of links too, but includes important explanations and hacks that keep you from having to roam the web looking for basic explanations that should be included in an instructional manual.

If you've been struggling with some of CSS's quirks, this book could provide missing information that will allow you to move ahead more quickly. I've had a lot of "Aha!" moments as an advanced beginner and am looking forward to many more.

In addition to being a good source of instruction, the book also covers some advanced CSS topics including media style sheets and tips on improving CSS habits. There are three appendices: a CSS Property Reference; using CSS in Dreamweaver 8, and about 7 pages of links to additional information, examples, and advanced tips and tricks.

"CSS: The Missing Manual" was a money very well spent for me.

"Outstanding writer. Outstanding book.", This book is by far the best book out there if you want to learn Dreamweaver CS3. Not only does the author show you important features of the program, he explains web design concepts and principles. This is the best $30 I've ever spent. Thank you David for such a great book.

You should write every book for all of Adobe's products.

"A Must Have for Web Designers", This book is definitely a must have for web designers (or people like me who are learning web design). A friend of mine referred me to this book and I absolutely love it. It is very straight-forward reading and includes tutorials at the end of each section to reiterate what you have learned. The Missing Manual series is an excellent way to get you going on many different topics... for CSS, this manual is great even if you have very little experience with HTML.

Buy this book... It is well worth the cost. You will not be disappointed!

"Fantastic Book!", Great introduction into the world of CSS. Having designed web pages in HTML since the 90's I'm way overdue to make the transition to CSS. This book has been absolutely easy to follow with great examples that cater to both beginners and more advanced users. I highly recommend this book even if you know next to nothing about HTML...it's a great place to start.

"Excellent introduction to CSS", As a technical manager for the past 23 years, I have purchased probably several dozen O'Reilly-published technical books. "CSS: The Missing Manual" is the first one that I have read cover-to-cover, followed all the tutorials, and then continued to reference the book later.

I needed help starting to learn and getting up to speed quickly with CSS, and this book was recommended to me. McFarland's combination of easy-to-read writing style, detailed and educational tutorials, and his occasional humor made this book fun and interesting. After I finished this book (over a few weeks), I felt comfortable enough with CSS to go further, experiment, and update many of my prior html-only web sites to CSS-based (and create a couple new ones).

I'd definitely recommend this book for folks who already have some familiarity with html but now like me need to go further and learn the intricacies of CSS. (And it was helpful to me that I was using Adobe DreamWeaver CS3 as my web site editing software). Great job by the author.

"Great but...", Very good introduction to css and I just agree with all the other reviews. However, as hard as I tried I realized that there was not solution to liquid layout. The theory is great and David explanation misleads you into believing that it is feasible. But then looking at the css files on his site I realize that he himself does not really use liquid layouts. So why not just come out and say: this is the theory, but really it does not work, here is the very complicated work around. Would really avoid a lot of frustration in the readers.
