CSS tutorials & basic know-how.

September 19, 2003

Lets get started

I started up this site so new comers can get a basic understanding of CSS. I individually went down the CSS road and like all things I had good times and bad times. This little site is designed to help you find that road and lead you into the right direction.

It will act as a quick reference to issues you may have relating to CSS, web standards and CSS layouts. I don't claim to be an expert at CSS but one more reference site out there the better it will be for people to get that firm grasp. My main focus point is to teach people that building a CSS layout doesn't have to look plain or minimal, infact they can be a lot more graphic intense than using tables.


In the end whatever you decide, CSS will stay and continually improve and older methods will be threatened with extinction.

I'd be interested in how you did the navigation menu, and the fading in and out under CSS. :)

Without actually checking the CSS I'm guessing the background-image for the navigation links is an animated gif that gets swapped in when you move your mouse over one of them. It's nicely done, but not unique to CSS-based design as the technique has been used in conjunction with JavaScript rollovers for many years.

You are correct Mikey, the navigation isn't unique. I do beleive my acroynm effect is unique though.
