Features: In the current fervent wave of the Web2.0 trend, everything is based on Web standards. This book is a prime example of a guide on how to use CSS for website layout and redesign based on Web standards. Focusing on practical examples, it step-by-step teaches readers how to start new, Web-standard-compliant CSS layout designs. Since CSS layout design fundamentally differs from traditional table-based layouts in terms of thinking and approach, the book emphasizes shifting perspectives and hands-on practices. The book is divided into 10 chapters, covering topics such as Web standards and CSS layout, CSS elements, CSS layout and typography, XHTML and CSS validation, browser parsing and CSS compatibility, and CSS visualization development examples. The examples are practical and the explanations are thorough. The author is the first implementer of Web standards for a large domestic website (Shanket Empire) and one of the earliest participants in Web standards in China. The book is rich in content, focusing on both thinking methods and practical applications, making it suitable for beginners and intermediate web design enthusiasts, as well as professional web designers who wish to refactor existing web pages using Web standards. It is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in website development.
