 Hi,
 
 it has come to light that I need to find a better means of obtaining
 reliable and dependable information for Web Design concepts. For
 example, I've seen websites employ various techniques such as overlaying
 a box in the z-dimension over the main screen and shading the main
 screen behind it for things like viewing pictures and so on. I decide I
 want to do something like that, and search for examples. Then I
 implement it only to find that the example isn't cross-browser safe and
 probably isn't a great solution.
 
 The problem for me is that I'm not experienced enough to be able to
 easily see what is a bad example and what is a good example. I'm
 increasingly finding that via my current methods the information I'm
 getting is not very dependable, especially across browsers. The results
 are nightmares for me down the road. Can anyone recommend a good
 selection of sites and/or books (or anything else) that can give me
 reliable, cross-browser supporting techniques and concepts for HTML,
 CSS, and/or JS?
 
 Thanks,
 Rich


I'm currently reading _DOM Scripting_ by Jeremy Keith (if it wasn't recommended 
recently on this list, it was somewhere
similar a month or so ago) and it's very good.  I'm by no means an expert (I 
don't even consider myself to have any
design skills at all), but I've found this book chock full of good information. 
 It may not answer all your questions
but I think it should prove a good start.

 good luck,
 ~c

Re: [css-d] How do you make crimson (blood read) color in CSS

 I need to have a blood read color for a group of words being used in a logo
 position for now. How would I make a color that is close enough to resemble
 it if I can't get the exact color? For now, all I can think of is #80 or
 just plain red. Any ideas?


Google says #66 for blood red.  Don't know whether that's arterial 
(oxygenated) blood or veinous though :-]
