Summary: A Cookbook For Writing HTML with Style
Comment: I bought the book hoping to learn how to create pop-up menus. I was disappointed in that respect. I did find it to be a nice guide for using style sheets for specific situations. Readers who do the homework and visit the companion website can pick up tips on getting things done. I would caution against doing everything shown. Many of the tricks require setting specific positions or heights or widths. Such tricks create pages that are not highly maintainable.

Summary: Design for the 10 %
Comment: Over 90% of the browsers surfing the internet are using IE, but this book's examples seem to only work best on Netscape browsers. Although the author suggested many hacks for both IE and Netscape, i.e. the voice-family in page 241 for the right margin hacks on Windows IE. It still doesn't work on Windows XP Pro IE6 sp1. The design concept is great though.

Summary: Great book -- but read intro
Comment: Wonderful book, but when the author says you need to know some CSS going in, he means it. This is not a beginners book, to get the most out of it you should know some CSS before opening it.

I started with Steve Callihan's CSS By Example and then 'graduated' to this book. Boy was I glad. Learned a lot more by doing this. I also was able to concentrate on the design elements and tips Meyers offered instead of feeling like I was lost in learning the code.
