At what point is CSS reliable across enough browsers to do this more
advanced type of programming?

Subject: RE: App Skinning via XSL?
I'm doing a project in-house here where I'm trying to use as much of
these CSSzengarden concepts as I can. This is a learning exercise on
what will be a low use internal application so not load tested in any
way. I am really enjoying the experience. It makes me want to go and
rebuild every website and application I've built in the last 7 years.
The one trick I've been using is to build my content in pure HTML with
using no layout tables (except for tabular data) no styles and minimal
layout first. Basically a black and white page with all the content
running down the left side. I then block up the content into logical
sections and start applying the styles to get the desired layout. It
takes a lot of nesting of <div>'s with a smattering of <span>'s around
your basic <h1>s, <h2>s, <p>s, <ul>s, <ol>s, ect.
I've also loved that I have found that holy grail of layout design, the
multi column expandable layout for any amount of content in any column.
Got to love it.
