CSS CribSheet
It has begun.. ~ I wrote a series of articles in response to a request for a cheatsheet/cribsheet from some members on a CSS Forum I take part in.
They said they found it useful so I have started transcribing them here. I hope to finish it off with PDF document, CSS Ebook if you like, which you will be able to download if you wish.
It's by no means complete yet, but I hope you enjoy what's there so far! ~ CSS Cribsheet.....
I just had to leave a note here to say what a great find your website was today! I love your design, especially the images with the rollover effects. I'm trying to get a background image rollover effect on a link using 'hover' but I can't get it to work! Oh the frustration! LOL.
I have done it once before but can't find my original source code - such is life. Thanks again for your cribsheets...I'm book-marking your site before I forget!
Bye bye and thanks :)

I don't know if you recognized Dave Shea's Crib Sheet??

I don't think that there is essentially new to write. That's like if you would have wanted to make a new "Listutorial" in English while there's this fantastic on from Australia :-)
Greetings from Germany.

Claire,
I just want to thank you for the time that you put into the crib sheet. I know it took time to go through all of those posts and to gather information to put into that crib sheet. I know that there are many people who are eternally grateful for the work and the time that you put into it.
I admire your work greatly. I has style and grace. I dream of one day being just a touch as graceful as you are in my work.
Blessings and smiles to you
4CSS!

Sorry but muses are now closed on this article
previous :: top of page :: next

Great start, I ran across it trying to deal with background image hover flicker in ie--thanks for the links.
You might want to include the title attribute in your discussion of using alternate stylesheets and the link element--drove me crazy when I was first playing with them.
My two favorite things that I've learned from your code are id'ing the body tag and using * {margin: 0; padding: 0; }. I think the former needs it's own page and the latter needs mention.
I use the body id most often for styling navigation links to show the current page and always start the id with the letter b. That way I can call the anchor with #bhome #home or #babout #about and make the whole nav a static include.
