How to Apply Table Formatting with CSS in Adobe Dreamweaver CS6
In addition to using the Property inspector in Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, you can format entire tables or individual table cells (and contents) by using CSS (cascading style sheets). In most cases, this is considered a better practice, as it maintains a separation between markup, content, and the actual styling used to make it aesthetically pleasing. You can use CSS to format a table as follows: Create a CSS Class rule from either the Property inspector or the CSS Styles panel.
Top 24 Simple, Yet Beautiful CSS3 Table Templates And Examples
HTML5 offers web developers a choice of pre-built elements that can be used to extend the functionality of a website beyond the ordinary, whereas in the old days we might have had to use visual imagery to explain things better, thanks to advancements in JavaScript (jQuery), HTML5 and CSS3 — it is now possible for developers to create and style dynamic HTML5 content without the need to use heavy programming concepts. One such element that continues to help assess online data better is “table” — the table element can be used to display raw data in a selection of different appearances; tables. HTML tables are not necessarily something that everyone will be using on their websites, however they are incredibly helpful when it comes to presenting data through rows and columns, and also for organizing data and information in a more accessible way.

Place text over images on hover without JavaScript
Thanks to CSS3 and better and better browser support for it, we can accomplish things now with CSS that previously required fancy JavaScript work. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through fading in text over an image on hover. Tutorial Updated I updated this tutorial to show you how to take advantage of even more CSS3 properties. The update is available here. Here’s a sample of what we’ll be creating:
Table Style
Table style – it’s a difficult thing to do right sometimes without a plugin, or either by spending a lot of time playing with css styles and refreshing the browser to see your new changes. You know I’m telling the truth What we really need, I realized after searching many times for good looking table css examples, is a site that gives us some css examples and alternative stylesheets to help us design good-looking tables. I’ve compiled a few here that I’ve spent my own time designing, and I hope that people can use these to build upon and to design really nice tables. Maybe someone will take these and build a little design site that has css examples for things like tables, forms, headers, etc. There really is a need for this kind of thing…at least my need!
CSS Shorthand
CSS Shorthand is a very useful thing to know as it will keep your style sheets more organized and also keep the file sizes down. One of the nicest features supported in CSS2 is the ability to use shorthand as well as longhand. While most people familiar with cascading style sheets use shorthand to some extent, there are several lesser known properties in which shorthand can be applied. The Purpose The main reason I use CSS shorthand is because it's easier to manage a style sheet when it's half the size of a similar one using longhand. While file size isn't the most important thing, mainly because style sheets are cached in the visitors browser, squeezing every last byte out of one can nonetheless save a lot of bandwidth on high traffic sites.
How to Use Web Fonts and the @font-face CSS Method
The days of web safe fonts are about to end thanks to all the great attempts of designers, developers and industry leaders around the world. The good thing in digital production industry is the community of people who are always pushing the boundaries to their limits. Then when it becomes a new standard or convention its pushed forward again by the same community even further. Technologies like Cufon, sIFR, FLIR and @font-face are some good examples of this. We will investigate the use of @font-face CSS method, which is stronger, simpler and more flexible. Although its more commonly known as a CSS3 property @font-face was actually first proposed for CSS2 and was implemented in Internet Explorer 4 using the propriety format called Embedded Open Type (EOT)!

Wanted: Layout System
(This is part of the Feedback on ‘WaSP Community CSS3 Feedback 2008′ series.) Not surprisingly, there was a lot of community feedback asking for better layout mechanisms. Actually, people were asking for any decent layout mechanism at all, which CSS has historically lacked. Floats mostly work, but they’re a hack and can be annoyingly fragile even when you ignore old-browser bugs.
