Part 2. The Game’s Afoot!

YOU’VE MADE IT THROUGH THE RIGORS OF YOUR APPRENTICESHIP, and now you want to hone your training through real-world application, right? Well, my friend, say no more: your time has come! Now we are going to roll up our sleeves and get into the nitty-gritty of some classic cases of code gone wrong.

EACH CHAPTER WILL PRESENT YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE CASE, and then we will visit the crime scene by taking a look at screenshots of the intended site, and of the site with the problems. Then you’ll get to review the complete code for the page, down to the last detail. Once you see all of the evidence, we will employ the tools of the CSS detective—from validation to code elimination—to find the guilty parties and solve the case.

SO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS AND REMEMBER YOUR training. By the end of the section, I am confident that you will be able to crack any CSS mystery that crosses your path.
