"Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents."
The above quote, taken from the W3C website, is one of the reasons for this site. Whilst I agree that it is a mechanism for adding style to web documents, I do not agree that it is a SIMPLE mechanism. It can be very complicated, as I found out when I took my first steps down this path.
So I have created this site in the hope that it will help newcomers to CSS and show old hands that it is more than just a mechanism for styling your documents. It is oh so much more.
Because CSS PLAY deals with experimental CSS that is exactly what you get JUST CSS, no javascript or any other programming language has been used in most of my demonstrations.
CSS PLAY is listed on the w3c.org website.

My name is Stuart Nicholls, but known to everyone as just Stu.
I worked as an electronics design draughtsman, until I resigned to become a self employed (freelance) web designer/adviser, and have a passion for computers and photography.
I started out with computers in the 1980's when I began writing articles on the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum for the computer magazines of the time.
I was also commissioned by McGraw-Hill to write two books on Z80 programming for the ZX Spectrum..
The web was the next big attraction and once more I was hooked, as you can no doubt tell, with CSS. This site has been around since 2005 and is now at the forefront of CSS development.
I have had many emails asking where the code/style can be found for the various demonstrations.
Well the html is always placed in the #info div, so examine the source code, find the <div id="info">.....</div> and in between is the 'code'.
In most case the style is embedded in the page <head>...</head>. This is done to keep it all together on the same page making it easier to find. In some cases the css is held in a separate file (where it should be) and is loaded in the normal way <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="path to css file.css"> so just add this path to the address in your browser to see the css file.
