Unhappy What would you suggest for a CSS book?
I want to learn CSS and I' wondering if anyone has a suggestion on a book for me. I have very little programming experience so I need something basic.

Thanks!

CSS Tutorials
Assuming you already know how to create an HTML page, I recommend this Stylesheets tutorial:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey...ylesheet_guide/

HTML Goodies has several good tutorials beginning with this one:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutors/ie_style.html

After I made a few working stylesheets, I used the validator at W3C CSS Validation Service
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

After correcting a few dozen style sheets this way, I learned a lot.

A list of all the CSS you'd ever need is here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/
That page has a tutorial, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/intro.html#q1 --but I find the above much easier for getting started.

When you are ready to make your pages all CSS and toss those tables away, try this site: http://glish.com/css/

The O'Reilly "Cascading Style Sheets- The Definitive Guide" is an excellent tutorial and reference. It was printed in 2000, but is still perfectly relevant today.
