CSSWhere is the best place to learn about Cascading Style Sheets from scratch? My website hoster has told me the location of the css sheet for my website so that I can make my own changes. I want to learn as much as I can! Is there a really good book or website that has great coverage? Thanks in advance xx

Re: CSS
Please, people, stop recommending W3Schools! Their information is consistently incorrect or misleading, and using it is bad in the long run. Read more about it here.(Original post by klapsar)
w3schools, practise by making your own html files in notepad or some other text editors. It's good fun and gets even better when you start adding scripts to the page!
Google offers very good tutorials, which you could check out. -

Re: CSSW3C is not at all affiliated with W3Schools, and their pretence doesn't make a good impression. Sure, it's an ok resource, but it isn't actually all that good.(Original post by Wookie42)
Agreed, but W3C isn't a bad place if you're just starting out.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn is a better almost all round. -

Re: CSSI know, and I agree that the bad press they get is completely justified. I just think the basic content they offer is decent - I benefited from it, and although there are people on here who are wayyy better web designers who know plenty more than I do, I think its unfair to brand all W3Schools' content as useless. Anyway, I'm in no way trying to get people to use that site I just feel like I should defend it a bit... not sure why, mind.(Original post by estel)

EDIT: Stuff like this: "Their information is consistently incorrect or misleading, and using it is bad in the long run" is just a bit extreme in my opinion, and I'd have to respectively disagree. Makes it sound like they're going to lie about what the <body> tag is for or something.Last edited by Wookie42; 17-05-2012 at 01:33. -

Re: CSSConsistently doesn't mean everything is wrong, it just means you can regularly find incorrect or misleading information. Sure it may provide some use, but why use it over places which have consistently correct information?(Original post by Wookie42)

Re: CSSMost of the w3fools stuff seems to be pedantry. "Actually IE8 supports 'contenteditable', ..." who cares?(Original post by steveholt)

Completely agree about the Google tutorials, though. The best resources I know of. -
