Anyone have any good recommendations for XHTML and CSS books on their own, or even in a combined book.
I've got fairly good experience in both, but want to extend. Also what I've learned has been from the web mainly.
I want a solid referrence and possibly some advanced techniques.
Cheers.
I've found a few

Zeldma's book is absolutely the number 1 book to have on the matter.
I have also read Eric Meyer on CSS, and More Eric Meyer on CSS.
To me, those are the best books to have. I also picked up the O'Reilly CSS pocket guide.

(May 11 05, 01:36)i don't understand? css is nothing but style for markup. html and css don't interact with databases. save as either a front end display generated from a scripting language or possible pulled from a database such as with templates stored in a db.
but that is not interacting with a database...that is being served from a database...two different things.
could you clearify?

Is zeldmans book ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obido… ) for advnaced learning as well.
I want to learn some pretty hardcore xhtml and css... not just have someone telling me to use h1, h2, ul, li, and divs :)
I want to extend what I know.
Some of the reviewers of this book say it's not all it's cracked up to be.

trousermouse,
by using css in combo with databases do you mean formatting data pulled from databases, instead of using dynamic tables in dreamweaver etc?
