Zen Garden -The Beauty of CSS Design

Littering a dark and dreary road lay the past relics of browser-specific tags, incompatible DOMs, and broken CSS support.
Today, we must clear the mind of past practices. Web enlightenment has been achieved thanks to the tireless efforts of folk like the W3C, WaSP and the major browser creators.
The css Zen Garden invites you to relax and meditate on the important lessons of the masters. Begin to see with clarity. Learn to use the (yet to be) time-honored techniques in new and invigorating fashion. Become one with the web.
So What is This About?
There is clearly a need for CSS to be taken seriously by graphic artists. The Zen Garden aims to excite, inspire, and encourage participation. To begin, view some of the existing designs in the list. Clicking on any one will load the style sheet into this very page. The code remains the same, the only thing that has changed is the external .css file. Yes, really.
CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document. The only way this can be illustrated in a way that gets people excited is by demonstrating what it can truly be, once the reins are placed in the hands of those able to create beauty from structure. To date, most examples of neat tricks and hacks have been demonstrated by structurists and coders. Designers have yet to make their mark. This needs to change.

CSS 2.1 Specification

This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 (CSS 2.1). CSS 2.1 is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts, spacing, and aural cues) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS 2.1 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance.
CSS 2.1 builds on CSS2 [CSS2] which builds on CSS1 [CSS1]. It supports media-specific style sheets so that authors may tailor the presentation of their documents to visual browsers, aural devices, printers, braille devices, handheld devices, etc. It also supports content positioning, table layout, features for internationalization and some properties related to user interface.
CSS 2.1 corrects a few errors in CSS2 (the most important being a new definition of the height/width of absolutely positioned elements, more influence for HTML's "style" attribute and a new calculation of the 'clip' property). But most of all CSS 2.1 represents a "snapshot" of CSS usage: it consists of all CSS features that were implemented interoperably at the date of publication.

Tableless layout HOWTO

It has been advocated many times that tables shouldn't be use in HTML for layout purposes. This page shows one way to create a 3 columns layout using CSS only.
HTML is a structural language, which means it is - or should be - used to add structure into a text through tags. The table tag should then only be used to format data into a table to relate columns with rows.
But since the apparition of tables in HTML, it has been very often used for layout purpose, usually split a web page into columns. Besides the fact that it breaks the meaning of HTML, it doesn't help either in various cases that we could summarize by the difficulty to parse or render a table in some context (disabilities, view port restrictions, ...).
This document describes one way to create a 3 columns layout and links to other layout techniques.

Style Sheets

Style sheets represent a major breakthrough for Web page designers, expanding their ability to improve the appearance of their pages. In the scientific environments in which the Web was conceived, people are more concerned with the content of their documents than the presentation. As people from wider walks of life discovered the Web, the limitations of HTML became a source of continuing frustration and authors were forced to sidestep HTML's stylistic limitations. While the intentions have been good -- to improve the presentation of Web pages -- the techniques for doing so have had unfortunate side effects. These techniques work for some of the people, some of the time, but not for all of the people, all of the time. They include:
  • Using proprietary HTML extensions
  • Converting text into images
  • Using images for white space control
  • Use of tables for page layout
  • Writing a program instead of using HTML

These techniques considerably increase the complexity of Web pages, offer limited flexibility, suffer from interoperability problems, and create hardships for people with disabilities.

Introduction to CSS shorthand properties

Shorthand properties?
One of the many great possibilities in CSS is the use of shorthand properties. It lets you specify several properties by using only one. If you have started learning about CSS and started implementing it on your web pages, you'll immediately see the benefit of using shorthand CSS properties. It makes it even easier for you to apply style to your markup, and it will make your CSS code shorter.
For you to have any value of this article you need to know the normal CSS properties and their values, they will be used here, but not extensively explained.
Browser support as indicated for every shorthand property is vague and only gives a general idea of the browser compatibility. For more detailed information about the nature in which a property is buggy or partially supported, check the link to Webreview and Stylemaster at the end of this article.
Now let us have a quick look at a sample CSS rule to refresh our memory on the different parts of CSS and what they are called:

CSS 2 Tutorial

By Miloslav Nic
In this tutorial CSS 2 stylesheets are applied on XML documents. The text is written in pure HTML and can be therefore displayed in any browser. Each example contains one or more xml sources which can be displayed (and formatted) with CSS when the link View output is clicked on.
You can start from the Example 1, from the Contents, which contains descriptions of individual examples, or from Index which lists all used properties in the stylesheets with links to individual examples.

RichInStyle.com CSS2 tutorial

This is one of very few CSS2 tutorials on the net. Not only does it have that advantage, but also has the following advantages:
  • It is easy to understand
  • It covers every aspect of the specification, including those that are frequently not touched upon by other tutorials such as cascading, box width calculations, etc.
  • It presents information in an efficient manner - it is short, so you learn faster

Why style sheets?
Style sheets have the following advantages:

  • They separate content from formatting. This means that instead of marking a quotation as italic, you mark it as a quote and then tell the browser that you want all quotes to be italic. This means that it is a two-second job to change quotes to bold, red, green or normal.
  • They reduce download time by removing formatting information from documents. Thus instead of having to specify that you want Times New Roman a few dozen times in a file for headings, you specify once that you want headings to be Times New Roman. They also are advantageous in that they need only be downloaded once for an entire website.
  • They give far more control over formatting than HTML - such features as background images and colors on all elements - not just the whole document, etc.
  • They ensure a consistent appearance across a site

RichInStyle.com CSS1 tutorial

This is a CSS1 tutorial with a difference - unlike other tutorials, it has the following advantages:
It covers every aspect of the specification, including those that are frequently not touched upon by other tutorials such as cascading, box width calculations, etc.
It presents information in an efficient manner - it is short, so you learn faster.
What are style sheets
Style sheets provide a means for authors to specify how they wish documents written in a markup language such as XML or HTML to be formatted. For example, an author might wish to specify that a document should be green on pink - this could be done using CSS, an established standard for styling documents.
You might ask 'Why do we need style sheets - can't you use HTML; for example, the FONT element or the bgcolor attribute?'

Style Master CSS Tutorial

This tutorial teaches CSS using both hand-coding and Style Master for Windows. You can also follow it using instructions for Style Master for Mac OS X. By working through the exercises you will learn all about CSS for text styling and page appearance including layout, and create a stylish looking page like this. If you want to learn CSS by hand-coding alone, simply work through all the exercises and code examples and skip all the specially styled Style Master instructions.
Style Master is a CSS editor which includes full support for hand-coding. It's a great way to start learning CSS: hand code when it suits, and fall back on the WYSIWYG editors when you're working with new properties and selectors. This tutorial is included as part of the 30 day demo download.

CSS Quick Tutorials

If you already know what a style sheet is and how to link it to your page, and how to specify selectors, properties and units with CSS, then in some ways the rest is detail. But, there can be a lot of detail to learn. The following is our ongoing collection of tips, tricks and quick tutorials.
The rising tide
When I redesigned the Westciv site (some time ago now - how it flies!) I included a neat little effect on the top left corner logo which I like to call "The Rising Tide". Scroll up and down the page a bit now if you've never actually noticed it before.
(Not seeing anything in particular? I'm guessing you're using Internet Explorer on Windows. Because a vital aspect of CSS is not supported by this browser, the technique doesn't actually work here. However it does no harm either, so in the spirit of progressive enhancement I decided to use it anyway.)
I've always been surprised by the number of people who have written in asking how the effect on the logo works, and now I've finally got round to writing a little tutorial to spell it out. There are two parts to the technique. One is simply the scrolling effect, and the way the westciv logo can always be seen no matter how far you scroll down the page. And then there is the fact that this logo is a live link to the Westciv home page, available right there in the top left of the viewport, no matter how far down the page has been scrolled.

CSS Frequently Asked Questions

By Håkon Wium Lie and Bert Bos
What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is a simple styling language which allows attaching style to HTML elements. Every element type as well as every occurance of a specific element within that type can be declared an unique style, e.g. margins, positioning, color or size.
What are Style Sheets?
Style Sheets are templates, very similar to templates in desktop publishing applications, containing a collection of rules declared to various selectors (elements).
What is external Style Sheet? How to link?
External Style Sheet is a template/document/file containing style information which can be linked with any number of HTML documents. This is a very convenient way of formatting the entire site as well as restyling it by editing just one file.
The file is linked with HTML documents via the LINK element inside the HEAD element. Files containing style information must have extension .css, e.g. style.css.

Introduction to CSS3

The members of the CSS&FP Working Group have decided to modularize the CSS specification. This modularization will help to clarify the relationships between the different parts of the specification, and reduce the size of the complete document. It will also allow us to build specific tests on a per module basis and will help implementors in deciding which portions of CSS to support. Furthermore, the modular nature of the specification will make it possible for individual modules to be updated as needed, thus allowing for a more flexible and timely evolution of the spcification as a whole.
This document lists all the modules to be contained in the future CSS3 specification.
This is an official introduction, issued by the CSS Working Group, which details the modularization of the CSS3 specification and the CSS test suite. This document should be considered to be informative, not normative. See the Style overview pages for more information on W3C's work on style sheets, including CSS.
This is a public W3C Working Draft for review by W3C members and other interested parties. As a draft document, it may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use W3C Working Drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than "work in progress."
