Hello.

I am wondering if anyone of you know a good study book on CSS for beginners. I thought about Head First HTML and CSS.

Won't there a book that shows us how to set up CSS 'step by step' for various layout of an actual sites?

And one last quesiton, Please visit www.newezra.com (HTML version), view their source. What I like to know is css code for that layout, including background, header, nav, and body. Dont worry about contents.

Hope to hear from you and I thought CSSBeauty is great!

Thank you.

I did search, that is why I suggested Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML. I was asking if anyone know a certain css tutorial book on how to set up different layouts using css - step by step. I might not wording it well.

Thanks for CSS link, but the preview area looks funny. They appears to be cluttering around.

If you have some experience already with CSS & XHTML then I would recommend Craig Grannell's book Web Designer's Reference. I had never done CSS/XHTML before I read the book and it gave me some really good info. You get some good design info, do's and don'ts, tweaks to get around browser issues and it walks you through several layouts. The reason you need to know CSS/X is because when working through examples the author does not state whether you are entering the sample text into CSS or the HTML file. You have to figure that out for yourself. I assume that he was writing this for a little more advanced audience. With just a little experience you will know what he is talking about.

After reading Grannell's book I read the Head First book. It was a fantastic book. They did such a good job of making the content fun to work through. You build upon 2 different sites throughout the book. If you don't know CSS/XHTML then by all means get this one first and build from there.

As far as layout goes then Bulletproof Web Design is great too.

Id recommend either Bulletproof Web Design or Web Standards Solutions, both very good books
