Understanding CSS for us Gring-gos

Found this, The CSShark Answers FAQs - Your CSS Tutorial
The CSS Know-How Site at: http://www.mako4css.com/index.htm

Also this: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html

And this: http://www.thenoodleincident.com/

It may take us some time but someday we will dance around that sombrero, too.

There are a few sites I like to reference when it comes to CSS.  First just to show somebody what can be accomplished with CSS I like http://www.csszengarden.com/  If you click through each of the designs (look through the archives too) you'll see how many ways people can display the same piece of html.

Once you are familiar with the basics of CSS, I find these sites can be valuable for more specific tricks you may want to implement.

Actually, I saw that link from you TA and wondered what had happened to it. Man, it must be "the ghosts of the disappearing posts" again.

It's called frustration and disgust, so I took it down -- now it reappears -- sure is funny; no one else knew about it until I put the link up ... oh well... { shrugs shoulders }

Nothing more than a directory to other sites. Or am I missing something?

I'm happy you found it a few months ago; I've known about it for over 2-1/2 years -- yeah; it's a "Directory" of sorts, but it has far more info than the crappy one-links I see posted that so many think are fabulous ... but, I spent several months going thru that "Directory" exploring 100's of links and gathering information and knowledge -- it's a shame I had to share it with the rest of the world.

I can't help myself...this post is off topic...TA I love you...we all share things on the Internet and you will keep finding other resources.

But, what I really wanted to comment on - is CE's new picture - is that really you CE? Man, how nice it is to be communicating with real pictures and not avatars...how refreshing.  I'm very pleased to meet you Jody.

Yeah; my dog loves me too and shares far more with me -- uhhhh; if I find anything more interesting and beneficial, I'll consult my dog about sharing ... she's normally far more intelligent about these things than most humans I've come across.
