Problem one

Russ: Authoritative guide of SS of 禖 of Luo of astounded male rate ” (Cascading Style Sheets: The second edition of The Definitive Guide) just has been written, before we know this book detail, want to ask first: How many book had you published? I pledge library of ground of my family belongs has special the book that a category is you.

Eric:  of bluff  bluff embeds the book of border?Molly Holzschlag, I am similar only, additional part. I had written 5 books, one among them is compact edition, I think that may perhaps cannot count a book (my wife insists to consider as) . The first is ” CSS authority guideline ” , if this the second edition calculates independent version, then I have 6 books. Myself thinks this the second edition is to calculate, because its workload is equivalent to,write a new book.

Problem 2

Russ: In new authoritative guideline, than what content the first edition increases or updating?

Eric:  of Ping of suddenly of hesitating of ㄒ of N of aluminous excuse me of a few  seeks a kind of reed of a surname of heart of negative game  protruding of Lu of badge of show off of Lai neon chasm subtles Mi naevus is tranquil angry Chen Di of  of Lu of land grave  namely  of T of aluminous excuse me of  of mother of  of over sixty years of age of fie of a cricket windowing Yang blows angry land, in new edition I incorporate them went in one chapter alone, rescripted major form is paragraphic. Same way, “The Bit About Lists” moved it is original paragraphic, added a large number of content. Having 3 orders is brand-new, they are: ) of layout of Table Layout(form, ) of style of user interface of User Interface Styles(, and Non-Screen Media(is not screen to show kind of media) .

Problem 3

Russ: The Ric Meyer On CSS of astounded copy 禘 that  of Ju of aunt  Jie Huan carries ” also have new version, means of how many kinds of design did new version provide?

Eric: That hearsay is true. We name it “in A Blinding Flash Of Creative Genius, ‘More Eric Meyer On CSS. ‘ ” the improvement that it has a few than the first edition, but not much. What I should say is, these two books do not have the associated sex of around, do not need to read the first edition for the second edition (although you are had twice. ) the reader of the first edition can think back to, method of the first design is how be the layout changeover of form drive simple table and CSS. And in new book, method of the first design is: The concerned page changeover that will use HTML label and blank GIF design only uses pure CSS to replace the page of form layout for.

Similar, have a lot of design methods, for example: A variety of methods show album (Photo Gallery) style, realize orderly financial forms for reporting statistics with the data that express a kind, and decorate with setting translucent result achieves in many browsers, include to be in IE/Win.

Have about demonstrating the design method of 3 class List, the nest that includes list and how be their changeover a ” next pulling (the menu of Dropdown)” , and can work go up in major browser (include IE/Win) , the Sliding Doors(slippery door that is just like Doug Bowman) the technology is euqally good.

Besides above these, the method that still has a couple solves the entry form problem of Weblog. The last method in the book is to take CSS Zen Garden (to be built by Dave casually) a design, come true next with Css it. Basically, dave designs a file to my Photoshop, next a few parts that I need its cut into me make with CSS it works normally, do you to be able to see so from the whole process that designs final code. I also consider the method that uses PNG picture, and won’t be in IE/win look ugly.

Problem 4

Russ: Two years before, CSS is discussed rarely, talking about everywhere it seems that now! Whether do you think you helped its change be mainstream consciousness?

Eric: This is automatical thing, true. Above all, IE6 begins to support DOCTYPE switch, announce it will extend no longer again later new IE version, give everybody a stable sense. The 2nd, enough stylist has enough time to read book and tutorial, do a test on the site of themselves with CSS. Below this kind of setting, a batch of outstanding design sites appeared. The 3rd, because promote as what design art,I think is, the Web stylist that those talents that have design capacity can understand CSS benefit truly (elephantine Doug Bowman, dave Shea, drove its progress with Jeffrey Zeldman) . Even the line (of Wired) magazine website redesign, buddhist meaning garden (the design that CSS Zen Garden) and other site begin to reveal CSS drive, it is to be able to work not just, and it seems that very beautiful, cannot think of meaning.

More and more practical, follow learned resource easily (for example: Listutorial and Floatutorial) also had very big effect, etc.

Problem 5

Russ: Miscellaneous flatter cuts  of └ crystal clear to hope oh the stylist of standard of Eb of 脀 of ズ fade A Chinese-style unlined garment and developer, the what respect of CSS is the most important?

Eric: Class of standard of scandium plaque  is bad also part of?cascading) of astounded of dispatch of appearance feng4huang2 stool. It is cascade only not just, still include to accede (Inheritance) , feature (Specificity) and selector (Selector Construction) , once you mastered these, other it is detail problem only.

Next, I want to understand visual effect thoroughly, include piece (Block) and inside couplet (Inline) , also be crucial. If you can know the design will show what result, can avoid a lot of (CSS was not pressed anticipate carry out) the problem that your poll is fond of. Just like a lot of languages, CSS has its regulation, oversight regulation causes a disorder for certain.

Problem 6

Russ: In 12 months in the past, a kind of picture is replaced (Image Replacement) technology is introduced. What are you to its overall feeling? If you must use it, which kinds of pattern will you use (Model) ?

Eric: My deflection the method at using CSS3: Will replace content with ‘content’ attribute. This is measure gently as far as possible (the method of Low-weight) and Non-hackish. This also is to be in the method that at present small support circumstance issues, because only at present Opera supports a picture,replace.

Additional, the virtue that I discover to the picture replaces a technique and defect coexist, the advantage is to make certain text version looks beautiful, defect is to give the person that rely on sound to read to cause use sexual issue easily. Tell bluntly, real problem depends on him reader. They try to show true page and read a result, but the thing that the just that they are doing is a mistake. If a page set pattern of a Screen-medium, and reader will be complete oversight those styles, unless most reader is repaired afresh.

Problem 7

Russ: ?font Size” of cape of anxiety of large bamboo hat of the first month can ignite CSS discuss greatly- - the war of purist of a font and webpage stylist. Whether do you think to there is a means of settlement that suits all users?

Eric: Mu of inclined Lu of  of M of Huang Yi of Cong of brandish school  wrings brandish of spruce cheek of sword   naevus of rice of shaddock of childish of extensive of small C earnestly is tranquil Jia Xingnuo of ǘ of Mu any of several hot spice plants sinceres feeling leg barium scrupulously and respectfully Bao of D destroy Long mires line of business of respect of fade of ň of any of several hot spice plants of Li Mei Mu is uncovered. The target of a stylist is achieve best performance with font of Pixel control text as far as possible, although use Ems or key word (for example X-small) can achieve better result. Allow when to be awaited, if somebody tells you, the font measure that a kind of method defines you suits all sites, so he just tells you a principle, is not a means of settlement.

Problem 8

Russ: Have all the time the problem of controversy, are you right CSS skill (what view does Hacks) have?

Eric: This is inevitable, until one day, our browser can support faultlessly and carry out CSS, it is CSS Hacks inactive a day. Here we will insist to do before. Want to point out, my means is aimed at all Hacks, no matter they are to CSS, still be other issue, for instance the Conditional Comments of Microsoft.

Problem 9

Russ: When whether you think to be CSS3 ready-made when browser market, will enter a new era—Remember the schedule of Microsoft Longhorn operating system.

Eric: The visual media that Yi Qin shelfing  holds 5  of  to pull  collect hut to roast meat the  that pound ǎ knocks SS2 of 諧 of С of kind  Ma (Visual-medium) should be in early it seems that finished 2003. My fatidical record always wants difference than someone else, also do not fit a long-term plan probably.

Problem 10

Russ:  of Guo of serve of Xin of post of Li large bamboo hat chews stylist of Eb of 膚 of lament of clump broadleaf plant to joining the rank of CSS2, whether do you think the complexity of CSS3 will reduce the appeal of its oneself, make even a few awe-stricken CSS of its stylist throw the helve after the hatchet?

Eric: Stylist of Eb of 膚 of  of Suo of regret of model of astounded of  of inclined forgive apology learned the one part of CSS2 merely, and the essence that did not understand it truly.

Everything happens likely, the knowledge that seems to because the ” complexity “(of CSS1 masters relative to them,once had stylist) and awe-stricken.

About CSS3, having a good thing is: It is departed and compositive to module (went in Modules) , you are so negligible the part that you do not care, and the share that amasses energy to want to understand in you. If you are so true that you want to arrive deep in the style that print, you can read the module that print (Print Module) goes understanding it. If you care, is internationalization, so you find I18N module, the part that some everybody need to understand over there (be like selector and cascade) , but subsequently, what accompany your interest and come is to must gnaw those giant normative manuals.
