Design & CSS
Tuesday:
A bit more CSSthen some more
CSS can be a little overwhelming but I suggest diving right into the middle of it and wadding around until it become clearer.
Unfortunately, designing this way highlights the flaws in the various implementations of CSS. Different brwosers display differently, even completely valid CSS at times, and this becomes maddening when a fix for one leads to breakage in another. Full browser compliance is still sometimes a pipe dream, and we do not expect you to come up with pixel-perfect code across every flatform. But do test in as many as you can." from http://www.csszengarden.com main instructions

- explanation of the external css
- the related html file (view source and save it; edit the link href stylesheet link so that it references the name you gave the external css file)
- the HTML file with the external CSS file applied
