Learning the basics of CSS

**CircleOfLinks** · 05-22-2008, 09:14 AM

Hey guys,
I know how to design web pages but not desiging them by CSS, what happens is that when you view the site in another browser other than IE the colours/fonts go funny and my partneer would then usually right up a CSS file correcting them.
can you tell me where i can go to learn the basics of CSS?? basically I don't want to keep relying on my partneer as he is really busy and keeps saying "i will do it" and things never get done, so i thought that i could teach myself how to right up CSS... So im hoping someone can tell me a site or has info on how to write up CSS files and how to implememnt them on pages etc etc...

Thanks heaps for all your help in advance

Use the "stickies" at the top of the forum.

At the top of each forum area there are threads that have been 'stuck' to make them permanent.. they're called 'stickies'

You may also want to consider reading any book ever written by Eric Meyer on the subject, as well as (depending on your experience level with HTML) either "Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS" by Ian Lloyd, or "HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables Using CSS (2nd Edition)" by Rachel Andrew and Dan Shafer. Both of these books are available from SitePoint as well as various online retailers such as Amazon.
