Re: Can anybody recommend a *good* book/resource set on CSS?




All:

Grant wanted a book about CSS.  Well, he should get Chuck Musciano & Bill
Kennedy, _HTML: The Definitive Guide_, O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.,
Cambridge, c. 2000, which has a very good quick reference to all CSS
constructs and is, as well, the indispensable desktop reference for
anything to do with HTML and associated technologies.

He should also get the TopStyle CSS editor from <http://www.bradsoft.com/>
which is advertware but tolerable.  It has syntax colouring and an
excellent tree presentation of CSS attributes that makes it easy to write
CSS.  You can also set the editor to conform to CSS1, CSS2, or the unholy
subsets supported by various versions of different browsers.

Relevance to FrameMaker?  I am in the process of converting a User Guide in
FrameMaker using mif2go and found TopStyle excellent for tweaking the
generated *.css file.

[Windows 2000, FrameMaker 6.0p405, FrameScript 1.27C01, Enhance 2.03,
Acrobat 4.05.2, mif2go 31u33, IXgen 5.5.h]

Hedley
