Reader Reviews
I'm working on my first "Pure" CSS site. It's very frustrating to work for hours to get a page laid out correctly in one browser and then open it in another and see your layout mangled. Thus, the purpose of this book. While I'm thankful for the hacks/filters discovered and for Mr. Lowery's collection, the need for such a book demonstrates the poor state of CSS implementation in today's browsers. Still, CSS is a very useful technology. You need this information for CSS issues. This book is a must. Buy it!
