Writing Cross-Browser XHTML and CSS 2.0

XHTML is poised to be the successor of HTML. XHTML, in conjunction with style sheets, represents the next generation Web. Style sheets describe how documents are presented on screens and in print - and it probably won't be long until they also dictate how documents are spoken. Cascading style sheets give Web designers and developers control over layout, fonts, colors, backgrounds, and other typographical effects. By using style sheets to update the appearance and formatting of an unlimited number of pages, developers only have to change one document - the style sheet. Although "Writing Cross-Browser XHTML and CSS 2.0" can be used as a reference book thanks to its many tables, it's really intended to be a book that any serious Web designer or Web programmer should read cover to cover. Author Michael Christensen explains all the aspects of CSS 2.0 and XHTML, which both are state-of-the-art technologies. Christensen primarily focuses on issues related to maintaining cross- platform compatiblity, but also deals with real-life problems and presents clear solutions.
