- Why do you love CSS?
- The freedom; it is just so much easier to get a layout how you want it, without the struggle of nudging tables cells this way and spacer gifs that.
- Actually, that’s a lie, what I really love is visiting otherwise superbly designed sites and dismissing them as worthless because they are done in Flash or with tables. Feels good to be
superior… ahem! - What drives you crazy when using CSS?
- Browser inconsistencies. I guess I shouldn’t pick on any single browser, none of them are perfect, but I dream of the day when checked on one browser means checked on all. It’s not going to happen though is it.
- Why should people write well structured / semantic markup?
- There are many good and noble reasons to write well structured markup but from a purely business point of view it just makes sense. With a little planning and a bit of practice you can start to recycle a lot of your code, which is time saved, which equals more profit and less stress.
