Skip to: Thoughts From Eric
CSS Work
- css/edge
- A collection of cutting-edge CSS-driven design demos, created by yours truly as a way of showing just how far you can take CSS in a browser that fully supports it. Some pages may look a little weird in your browser, but that's to be expected when you're on the edge...
- CSS References
- Sure, you can go get the original versions, or you could use my local frames-based wrappers to quickly find what you want. If the Sidebar Tabs (see below) aren't an option for you, then feel free to give these a spin!
- Inline model document
- A terse, but hopefully complete, description of how the CSS inline box model really works. This might become the basis for a section of CSS3, assuming I ever get around to actually writing it.
- W3C CSS2 Test Suite Prototyping
- The beginnings of the next official W3C CSS test, this one covering CSS1 and CSS2 instead of just CSS1.
- CSS Tests
- A fairly large collection of test files I've accumulated over the years. The test subjects run the gamut from CSS1 to CSS3, and are rarely if ever documented. Feel free to explore to your heart's content. Note: Eric is not responsible for anything that happens to your browser or your happiness with it as a result of your loading up these tests.
- Articles by Eric
- Local copies of CSS articles, as well as other writing I've done.
- Books by Eric
- Including Eric Meyer on CSS, More Eric Meyer on CSS, Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition and Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 Programmer's Reference.
Offsite
Resources available on other sites.
- W3C CSS Test Suite
- The official W3C CSS test, as well as the first official W3C test suite of any kind.
- SelectORacle
- If you find yourself mystified by CSS2 and CSS3 selectors, then the Oracle is ready to help out. Simply provide it with some selectors (or even a whole stylesheet) and it will return English descriptions of what the selectors will match.
Offline
The following resources are currently offline, but are kept here for historical purposes and also against the hope that they will one day be available again.
- CSS Support Charts (including "the mastergrid")
- Information on what CSS1 is supported by which browsers, plus a little bit of CSS2 support. This material used to be at Web Review before its demise; now the charts are being republished on Netscape DevEdge under a Creative Commons license.
- CSS2 and HTML4.01 Quick Reference Sidebar Tabs
- If you're using a Mozilla-derived browser that has the Sidebar, such as Netscape 6+, then you can add handy quick reference tabs which give you quick access to the CSS2 and HTML 4.01 specifications. Warning: these tabs have been known to cause severe dependency in Web designers. (In the meantime, you can get copies for either Netscape 6+ or Opera 6+ at Rijk's Panelizer page or TjL's Sidebars/Panels page.)
Noodling Around
The following is an experiment in heavily styled text, relying on pixel-sized text and positioning to function as intended. It may well look terrible in your browser, but if not, let me know what you think!
