Tamar you can still do the same editing of css and see what happens. Most of css isn't any more difficult than html. It's fairly simple to change colors and margins.
It can get a little complicated when css is used for the layout, but once you get used to it, it does become easier.
I learned by reading a couple of Eric Meyer's books. The pocket reference had a good intro and I used it as my main resource for awhile, but Eric Meyer on CSS was the book the really helped me put together sites using css.
I read through the book and manually typed in all the code and by the end of the book I was fairly accomplished. Since then it's just been practicing by building one site after another.
One of the things I see tripping people up all the time is they want to use positioning on everything. The trick with most css layouts is recognizing the one or two key elements that need to have a float applied to them and realizing you don't need to do much to the other elements. |
