Marvelous List of CSS Tricks

Smashing Magazine has done it again. They post useful information, resources and links on a regular basis. I ran across their "Mastering CSS: Part 1" article. It features a whole basketful of neat CSS tricks and how-tos for designers familiar with HTML and CSS, and also for more advanced code writers. Most give explanations and exceptions for browsers that may or may not recognize the features. Find the article here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/03/mastering-css-styling-design-elements/
