I've been trying to learn css for the past several months. I don't know what happened, but someone finally flipped the little switch of understanding on in my brain, and now I'm css-ing all over the place!!

Congrats! Now you'll wonder how you ever got along without CSS. _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (in reply to slbergh)


slbergh Posts: 322 Joined: 11/8/2002 From: Iowa Status: offline	RE: I finally get it! - 6/11/2004 17:24:38 I'm already wondering that. As well as trying to figure out why a hard drive will only crash when you don't have it backed up. _____________________________ Digital data lasts forever...or 5 years, whichever comes first!

Now that you have fought your way to enlightenment...what advice can you offer to shorten the learning curve for me.? Hi Crime Doctor, welcome to the family. Advice? Patience, that is first and foremost. Don't use IE for testing your pages, too forgiving. VALIDATE!! xhtml/html/and css!! another important thing to always remember. Also in this section at the top are css links. There are several for tutorials in there. I suggest that you follow some if not all of the links and posts in there, in fact, HERE is where you will find the information. Also, come here anytime you need a hand and someone will be able to help you out. If we don't know the answer, then we try to find a link to help you out. once again Welcome!!!! <edit>btw, anything worth learning takes lots of study to get it right. CSS isn't something that you can learn by taking shortcuts. </edit> < Message edited by c1sissy -- 6/23/2004 21:50:28 > _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

Seriously though Crime Doc, there is a wealth of information to be found with in this forum. And there are many people who are very willing to give of their time to help you out if you need it. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

I didn't actually read any tutorials as such _____________________________ (in reply to c1sissy)


slbergh Posts: 322 Joined: 11/8/2002 From: Iowa Status: offline	RE: I finally get it! - 6/24/2004 17:37:54 Welcome, Crime Doc! The best advice I can give is to find a CSS page you like, then dissect the page. That's actually how I started learning it. Check out some of the designs at CSS Zen Garden. You can look at the CSS to see how they did things. Then once you run into a wall, come in here and ask for a little guidance. (Deb is one of the best to ask on this, IMO!) _____________________________ Digital data lasts forever...or 5 years, whichever comes first! (in reply to Giomanach)
