[...] I remember when I was doing the SitePoint Mayhem Contest how amazed I was at the easiness of CSS when you only have to worry about one browser. It was like some sort of dream…But then at the same time, if it was always that easy many of us would be out of a job. [...]

Got the book. I’m liking it so far, that CD that came with it has a few nice extentions on it as well.

This is all they said:

Since judging was so hard we decided to give away 4 prizes! Egor, sbob, elliothere, and mPeror all win! I’ll be PMing details to you guys so you can claim your prizes

I don’t have a clue what went on behind the curtains, all I know is they said I was one of the four and got a PM saying that I “won the cross browser mayhem competition” with instructions on how to get the book (which should be here tomorrow).

@Ellyadmirer: hah, never.

@Dustin: It would’ve been too easy, if I had known what I was doing with the JavaScript. I did find a pretty good tutorial for browser detection, but it’s amazing the problems I came up with…

@Everybody: Thanks. They said the book should be arriving within 5 business days.
