The Chapters
The book begins with the basics of CSS with a special emphasis on common causes of problems, and then covers methods for giving your code the third degree - isolating issues to find the roots of the problems. You'll also get a look at the line-up of usual suspects: the common problems and persistent bugs that are often encountered in CSS.
Finally, you'll put the tools to the test with hands-on cases designed to teach you how to solve CSS problems of your own.
