- Four-color design makes the step-by-step CSS solutions to common design
challenges easy to follow.

Just like its predecessor, this book takes a hands-on approach to teaching
CSS. Through ten all new projects, Eric Meyer continues to instruct CSS devotees
on how to make CSS work to solve their design challenges. Projects include
converting and existing page to use CSS-P instead of tables and styling a
variety of pages, such as: a photo gallery, financial report, list-based menu,
tab interface, weblog, and irregular edged text.
