Part III: Advanced CSS and Alternative MediaAdditional CSS ResourcesA multitude of websites exists for CSS how-to, articles, experiments, and other general discussion. A fewof the websites that I frequent most and personally recommend are:❑❑❑❑❑A List Apart: http://www.alistapart.comPosition Is Everything: http://www.positioniseverything.netQuirks Mode: http://www.quirksmode.orgCSS Zen Garden: http://www.csszengarden.comEric Meyer’s website: http://www.meyerweb.comThere are also a few venues that exist to help newcomers and veterans alike through forums and mailinglists. Two that I recommend are:❑❑Wrox Programmer to Programmer (P2P): http://p2p.wrox.com. Wrox’s P2P forums havevenues for asking questions about specific Wrox books, like this one, as well as general programmingand web development topics, such as (X)HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.CSS Discussion (mailing list): http://www.css-discuss.org. The css-discuss mailing list wasfounded and is maintained today by CSS guru, Eric Meyer.Beginning CSS, Second Edition OnlineBecause I ran out of space and couldn’t include them in the print edition of this book, an additionalchapter appears online at the Wrox website.❑Chapter 16: Dean Edwards’s “IE 7” JavaScript. Dean Edwards’s “IE 7” JavaScript enables CSSfeatures that IE 6 doesn’t support natively, such as the direct child and next sibling selectors thatyou saw in Chapter 3. The “IE7” JavaScript is a package that you embed in your web pages toobtain a greater spectrum of CSS support in IE 6.This chapter, in addition to the book’s source code download, is available at the Wrox website via thefollowing URL:http://www.wrox.com/go/beginning_css2eSummaryThe CSS cursor property provides control over which mouse cursor is used when the user moves theirmouse cursor over an element. To recap, in this chapter you learned that the cursor property may beused to change the cursor displayed to the user, which may be via a predefined list of keywords or byreferencing a custom image via a URL, although the latter is only supported (at the time of this writing)by IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox.542
