Make your graphical text semantic and searchable
Web designers have long used graphical text to display unusual fonts, scripts, or other typefaces not available on most users' computers. With image-based text, color, kerning, line height, and font are completely at the control of the Web designer, not users' system fonts. However, without actual text on a page, search engines like Google and Yahoo, as well as ad services like Google Ads, are hampered in identifying and classifying a site. This article explains how to get the beauty and elegance of image-based text, without sacrificing semantic meaning on a Web page. 		Articles 16 Sep 2008

Craft Ajax applications using JSF with CSS and JavaScript, Part 1: Enhance the appearance of your JSF pages
Typical Web applications require the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript, together with a server-side framework, such as JavaServer Faces (JSF).

Web development tips: Pay attention to the CSS @media rule
The CSS "@media" rule is a useful way to target an HTML or XML document to an intended output device. Use of the "print" media is now fairly widespread, and provides a much cleaner means of creating printer-friendly pages than does a separate "printable version." The use of the "screen" media has been somewhat underused, perhaps because of an overly general assumption that screen is merely the "default rendering." However, in regard to positioning--especially absolute positioning--the screen media type has an important meaning that is not covered by media-free stylesheet rules. 		Articles 18 Sep 2007

Unify your Web apps with UUE
Enterprise application integration (EAI) is the elusive Holy Grail of any large IT department. The value of integrating multiple disparate applications so they can share business data and business processes is well established. From information architecture to branding, applications that are integrated across a multifaceted user experience to share a unified user experience (UUE) are easier to learn and offer productivity gains. The standards, paradigms, and patterns that define the UUE can also help to accelerate design and development through the use of reusable components. Integrating the user experience (UX) does have its share of challenges and drawbacks. When done correctly, it can provide the enterprise with a homogeneous, familiar, efficient comfort when users interact with its application while it shortens development cycles.

Display XML with Cascading Stylesheets: Use Cascading Stylesheets to display XML, Part 3: Combine XSLT and CSS to process XML
In Parts 1 and 2 of this tutorial series, Uche Ogbuji has shown how to use Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) to display XML in browsers, presenting basic and advanced techniques. Although some people see XSLT and CSS as opposing technologies, they are actually very complementary. CSS cannot, and is not designed to, handle many XML rendering tasks. You can use XSLT for many such tasks, and even manage the CSS that is still used to fine-tune the presentation. This tutorial covers techniques for using XSLT to process XML in association with CSS. 		Tutorials 20 Jun 2005

This tutorial shows how to use CSS to present XML in Web browsers. 		Tutorials 30 Nov 2004  
 
Use Cascading Style Sheets selectors
With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), page authors can control the appearance of content with more precision.
