Rich Links, Lists, and Navigation

It's important to point out that the techniques in this chapter, particularly the way lists are being used in navigation, are a relatively new concept in web design. The mere fact that CSS lets you change the display of an element makes it very compelling to rely as little on imagery for effects as possible.

NOTE

Learn all about CSS lists by visiting Listamatic, a tutorial and gallery of great CSS-based navigation, http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/.

If you're interested in a tool that will make some of these lists for you right online, check out List-O-Matic, http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/list-o-matic/list-o-matic.asp.

Next up, you'll be getting a bit more involved in the actual control of margins and padding, which is important for gaining a firm hand over your visual page elements. This will help segue you into the more complex aspects of CSS: laying out pages.
