In this part...

T


his Part is all about advanced CSS techniques — stuff
even the CSS gurus sometimes don’t know. You wres-
tle the concept of CSS inheritance until you have pinned it
to the ground and can provide selector rules for almost
any conceivable location in the tree structure. You experi-
ment with future CSS3 features, including several that are
testable now in the Mozilla Firefox browser. You discover
ways to do things that would be impossible with CSS
alone by adding JavaScript or VBScript to your CSS bag of
tricks. Among other techniques, you find out how to actu-
ally change your CSS rules, or even add new rules, dynam-
ically while a user is viewing your page in a browser. (You
don’t even have to be there at the time.) Finally, you delve
into the best ways to check your CSS and HTML for errors
before you send your baby out into the World (Wide Web,
that is).
