Most books on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) explain in detail the many typographic and color features of the language, but very few address the myriad of techniques for creating web page layouts. This book fills that gap by showing you how to create exciting and configurable layouts for your site by using CSS to separate a document's structure from its presentation. Without changing any content, you can fine tune the position of elements, tables, columns, and make the most brilliant designs come to life for your web site visitors. ""Web Layout with CSS and XHTML"" explains the coding and design skills needed to make all this happen, and also delves into the use of JavaScript to manipulate CSS layouts, which makes it possible for you to create layouts which change depending on the data or application in use.
