This chapter covers further important topics in CSS. It builds on your knowledge of the basic principles of CSS introduced in Chapter 4, including the box model and the most common appearance properties. This chapter focuses on the sometimes complex process of creating layouts in which box elements exist side by side. It also examines some newer features in CSS such as transitions and animations which greatly expand the scope of what’s possible to achieve in CSS. Each of these topics could easily fill several chapters of this book. As such, the chapter will endeavor to provide a starting point for subsequent learning.
