I'm a very experienced developer and would like an expert recommendation on a CSS book. I know CSS, but I've been reading a lot about using CSS versus tables and a bunch of other things and need a good kick-start book into what can and can't be done using CSS.
I don't have time to site down and trial and error.
I've downloaded TopStyle to help build some fairly complex CSS stuff, but some things I want to do are out of my current realm of expertise:
* How to create a portal-like display using columns with DIVs and still maintain wrapping text, etc.
* A lot of things I used tables for such as a row of header labels, how can you do this using DIV/SPAN without using absolute positioning? Even with relative I could only get it to work using relative and then positioning DIV's inside of the outer DIV.
I've got a bunch of other scenarios I'd like to do work out, but I don't have the time to play around with all of the CSS elements; so a good book with some advanced examples would be great.
