These include hacks for using CSS in place of JavaScript for creating dropdown menus and image rollovers, adding rounded box corners, anchoring elements so they don't move when scrolling, displaying text backward to give the browser a mirror, highlighting required fields on a form, and changing the mouse pointer to alert viewers to the nature of an element. The book contains scores of hacks for styling text, working with links, enhancing forms, making better lists, and embellishing the printed output.
