Editorial Review: Product Description: Get ready to experience an eye-opening expos on CSS as you know it today. You'll discover a fresh approach to coding Cascading Style Sheets, making old hacks and workarounds a distant memory. In this book, you'll learn how to start taking full advantage of Internet Explorer 8 using the very latest CSS techniques -- whilst still catering for those nasty old browsers. You'll unearth what's put the final nail in the HTML table-based layout coffin, and gain an understanding from two experts why CSS has a very bright future. Some of the valuable insights in this book include:
CSS was conceived in an age when web site design was simple; its creators never anticipated the level of intricacy required in the designs that it would be asked to deliver today. Clever designers figured out ways to make CSS do what they needed, but using techniques so convoluted that it became unpredictable and difficult to master. CSS just became too hard ... The good news is, that's all about to change, and this book will show you how! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Interesting review of state of CSSThis book was a quick read. I found the review of the current state of CSS versus the promise of future table-related codes interesting. I can't wait to use the new CSS codes in my work. Rating: - A must read but too short and only really covers one subjectThis is a very strange title for a book and I was extremely intrigued by it. I've been laying out web pages for years now with CSS and for a book to come along and suggest that everything I had been doing was wrong was a bit of a bold statement. This is quite a short book weighing in at just over 110 pages and really only deals with one topic, however it does that in-depth. The style of writing is good and flowing and it feels like you're just reading a magazine article.

I rate them right up there with O'Reilly, Apress, and Friends-Of-Ed books for first rate content. This book is a major disappointment. As someone stated with another review, IE6 is far from dead. This book lacks the 'meat' that has been a hallmark of SitePoint books. There are better CSS resources out there. Rating:  - You Have Got To Be KiddingCSS Tables. They'll work in IE8, as they have in Opera, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc. etc. for a while now. There. I just summed up the entire point of this book. Will you use them? No. Not if you want to keep your site accessible to people using IE6-7 while they're still a majority. In a few years, when older versions of IE have faded, then you might pick up something like this book. But this book could have been titled "Everything on the cover of this book is wrong!" and it would have been ... Read More Rating: - What They Know About Tables is WrongThis book is short and to the point which I like. It's a good primer for where the world of HTML and CSS layout is headed. I would consider their excitement about ie8 and universal support for CSS tables very premature since a huge number of browsers out there are still ie6. One of the books writers, Cameron Adams, makes a comment about using tables for layout saying "The only problem is, they're evil." What a weenie. They work. They're very browser compatible. Dang, what do you want. There ... Read More
