"Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide 2nd Edition"


My advice is de?¬? nitely not to use IE6 as a development browser,
but to develop using one of the three SCBs above, and then test and
make any adjustments for IE6 only after your page is in advanced
state on your SCB of choice. Actually, I??™ll go further, and say that I
strongly advise you to view your pages during development using
the Firefox browser. I say this because I ?¬? nd that overall Firefox is
the most standards-compliant of all the SCBs. Also, you can install
the Web Developer Toolbar add-on on Firefox, which allows you
to: easily validate your XHTML and CSS without uploading to a
server; turn style sheets on and off; view the outlines of the XHTML
elements on your page so you can accurately see if the elements
are laying out on the page as you intend; and use its numerous
other useful and time-saving tools. Quite simply, if you don??™t have
the Web Developer Toolbar installed you are probably wasting a
lot of development time. Also add the Firebug add-on for some
handy code debugging tools, and you are ready to work like a
pro. Firefox and these two add-ons can be downloaded for free at
www.get?¬? refox.com.

Finally, in a book like this, there are bound to be some errors,
although a concerted effort has been made to review this book
in great detail before it went to press.
