[ale] Learning CSS by example

Wed May 4 17:31:11 EDT 2005

Yes, the web developer is _very_ handy for someone truly adamant about
developing good, compliant, web sites. However, you don't need it to
get the stylesheet. Just type the address in the URL bar. For example,
http://www.example.com/Product.css would get you the stylesheet.

If you really want to learn cascading stylesheets, I recommend you
read http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2 . You can't go wrong by reading the
actual specification.
