Molly E. Holzschlag Thanks:

It's a remarkable experience to work in a field where our students so quickly become our teacherswhere our work can, in an instant, change the way we think about the Web. This is the experience that coauthoring a book with Dave Shea has offered me: the chance to see my work inspire another person, who in turn has inspired a new generation of Web designers. What I've learned from Dave and the many designers of the CSS Zen Garden has enabled me to improve my understanding of CSS, to teach it more effectively, and to feel passionate about the Web in a renewed way. So my primary acknowledgment must go to Dave, and then to all the contributorsso many of whom are friends and teachers of minewho have helped realize what is essentially one of the most important Web projects in our history thus far.

On the personal front, to Michael with love always; to my family and friends, whom I hold dear and who put up with my oft-mercurial self, thanks for helping me through. As ever, to David Fugate, literary agent extraordinaire and personal friend, who never ceases to provide encouragement and wise guidance. As ever, to my readers and visitors to my Web site: Thank you for the ongoing support and encouragementit means the world to me.
