  CSS rollovers without preloading

  Petr Stanicek has devised a clever technique to do image rollovers without resorting to JavaScript and with no need for preloading. Check out the examples to see if you can figure it out for yourself before reading his explanation - that "eureka!" feeling would be that much more gratifying.

  Your Blogger code

  20 Questions - neat pseudo-classifier

  20 Questions is a neat game that shows off what a little A.I. can some (hard-coded) learning can do.

  CSS contest at SitePointForums.com

  The SitePoint Forums community has recently organized a CSS website design competition called The Beauty of Style, very much in the style of CSS Zen Garden. If you're thinking of taking part, sorry, the submission date is over, and judging is currently in progress.

  You can take a look at the submitted entries though. Some of them are very good, like Crispy, Zanzibar, Lichen, SP Style and The Box (slightly broken in Mozilla).
