Chapter five, "Forms," examines the best methods of making your forms available to all users; even those needing accessible web design. Cameron Adams will show you how to create a form that will allow for correct and effective labeling, grouping and styling of your form elements and present them for premium effect.
Chapter six, "Rounded Corners," has Steve Smith explaining how to create round corners for your boxes while staying away from the traps of unsympathetic browsers. With a few precautions, you will be able to avoid these problems as well.
Chapter seven, "Tables," are given a fresh look by Jonathan Snook who shows you how to create exciting, colorful tables that work across all browsers. He also gives you a peek into CSS 3, where you will have even more opportunity for expanded table creativity.
While the quality and composition of The Art And Science of CSS is to the standards of SitePoint books, the overall feel is a bit uneven. I attribute that to having five different authors. Though, I must say each chapter is superb in its overall treatment of its individual topic.
The Art And Science of CSS is short and to the point, it is a quick read and entertaining. Even someone with intermediate experience will find things to learn throughout. If you are new to CSS or even a little experienced, this is a definite must-have.
