Re: Building a Site completely with CSS
I've been building CSS-only sites for several years. One good reason - a client just asked me to clean up a page on their marketing products site.
This table-based page had a limit of 50,000 characters (it was to be shown in a frame) and was already up to 49,300 - and they needed to double the amount of product shown.
By stripping out the table structure and replacing it with pure CSS, the number of characters in the HTML page will be reduced by just about half.
It's not difficult to get CSS-only pages to appear nearly identically in the major browsers, and it doesn't take inordinate amounts of time - just experience. Code for Firefox first, and then make corrections for IE if/when needed.
