CSS Cookbook, 2nd Edition

3.0. Introduction

When Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape, allowed for the inline display of images back in the early 1990s, it helped kick start not only a global discussion, but added enticing visuals. Shared documents no longer were doomed to be text-laden academic papers allowing designers the initial foothold to begin the field of web design.

In this chapter, many recipes regarding CSS interactions with images are discussed. Recipes include dealing with borders, manipulating background images, rounding corners on boxes, replacing HTML text with images and much more.
