CSS is the most important part in modern standard based web design. Using CSS you can turn any web related nested stuff into a working design.
There has been a lot of talk about CSS Work lately. Mostly designer creates the design templates, Photoshop Images or whatever and then developers have their turn to show their creativity. Sometimes, it happens that they mess up something or many things. Among many coding/design issues caused by developers, one in particular really drives me nuts – incorrect usage of CSS and it’s properties.

Nice collection. I like the flyout menus with css. The flyout menu with css replaces the Java script flyout menus. Thanks for your collection.
Great tutorial, very helpful.
Here’s my new button. It’s like the sliding doors button, but obviously can’t be using sliding doors, because the transparent parts won’t cover the other half. I called it “the levitating submit button”, since works as a submit, and doesn’t use extra markup to achieve the same result. Same transparent, 1 single image, doesn’t depend on opaque corners to hide a thing or on a same-color background, uses less code.

Hi guys, I would like to ask you for a favor, since you’re really good at finding this stuff. I used to have a template for a top navigation bar like the one at Mashable.com where on hover, a list of a lot of links is displayed neatly below.. but orginized. I believe it’s using Jquery and Superfish plugin, but not sure. Could you please find a tutorial for me, or somewhere to download a template.
Thank you so much.
nice one… helped me a lot

I’ve recently written up a tutorial on using only CSS to create some sexy buttons. It makes use of RGBA gradients and works well in Webkit and Mozilla browsers while still degrading gracefully. Check out the tutorial at http://blog.brandoncash.net/post/525423850/sexy-css-buttons or see them in action at http://experiments.brandoncash.net/sexybuttons/
It uses no images and can easily be changed to fit into any site.
Great…

Hey, did you try a Cool Button Designer? I think it is a best web button creator – if you dont have a photoshop or dont know how to use it. You can also apply the CSS to the graphics created in Cool Button Designer. I suggest you to try it, it has bunch of features, and creates a cool looking buttons. Just google for Cool Button Designer.
