Things They Never Tell You In Css School
The best thing about css is its ability to leave your head numb and your knuckles
aching from whacking your monitor in the eye.
Things I should Do Instead
- Learn to write PHP that does not return errors.
- Sleep more.
- Things that don't require me to sit at a computer.
- Use tables.
- Preach about “Semantics” like everyone else around here.
- Use tables when a DIV doesn't cut the mustard.
CSS: stuff nightmares are made of
#rightcol {
position:relative;
vertical-align:top;
width: 18%;
margin-left: 3.6%;
display: inline-block;
padding-left:2em;
text-align:left;
}
Here's some wise advise.
“Oh, what a tangled website we weave when first we practice.”

Now, if things aren't clear, don't worry. They will be in time.
CSS, just like HTML, has it's own syntax and set of rules. They are described in the specifications laid down by the W3C ➚, the founding fathers of CSS.
In time you will find yourself going to the official specifications ➚ to look some stuff up, but i warn you: it's, not to say the least, very cryptic so i suggest that you first get yourself a good book or/and an on-line tutorial.
So, is CSS easy to use ? Well, yes and no. The main problem is the difference between all the browsers out there. You will see along the way that a lot of browsers do not support CSS the way it should be: according to the WC3 spec's. The most notorious is IE6: that can and will give you grieve. Although IE8 is out, IE6 is still used by a lot of people, so you will have to deal with it.
