Description
CSS ~ Cutting edge Cascading Style Sheets. Experiments in CSS
"Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colours, spacing) to Web documents."
The above quote, taken from w3c.org, is one of the reasons for this site. Whilst I agree that it is a mechanism for adding style to web documents, I do not agree that it is a SIMPLE mechanism. It can be very complicated, as I found out when I took my first steps down this path. CSSplay, by the way, is now listed on the w3c.org website.
So I have created this site in the hope that it will help newcomers to CSS and show old hands that it is more than just a mechanism for styling your documents. It is oh so much more.
Because CSSplay deals with experimental CSS that is exactly what you get JUST CSS, no javascript or any other programming language has been used in any of the demonstrations.
A little bit about me
I am 61 years old, married with two children, work as an electronics design draughtsman and have a passion for computers and photography.
I started out with computers in the 1980s when I began writing articles on the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum for the computer magazines of the time. I was also commissioned by McGraw-Hill to write two books on Z80 programming for the ZX Spectrum.
The web was the next big attraction and once more I have become hooked, as you can no doubt tell, with CSS. This site has been around for just over a year now and, although not as well known as 'the big boys' it is not doing too badly.
