Cool uses for Css?

Hi all i recently learnt the very basics of css, like how to include it in a page, using it as classes for fonts and borders.

And want to know if there is anything really cool that you can do with css?

I got all my inspiration/knowledge on http://bluerobot.com/web/layouts/default.asp. It is a basic lay-out you can download and start playing with. (that's the way I learned it)

Now, I've redone my personal website in CSS (check my .sig for the link )

Another really cool CSS showcase is
http://www.csszengarden.com/. You can choose another css file from the menu. All the different lay-outs are just different stylesheets all using the same html file. You can learn a lot about how to do special things by looking at their sourcecode.

One of the things you can do with it that can greatly simplify things is to provide a general look and feel for a large website by creating a separate external style sheet and then including it by linking to it from all the pages in the site. That way when you want to change the colors, fonts, etc. you can just edit the style sheet and leave the html files alone. You can also override the default behavior of html elements. For example, I don't like the way the standard h1 tag looks, so I override it and make it look the way that I want.

Some of the cooler things you can do with it involve the use of DHTML. Dynamic HTML isn't really a language at all but a technique that combines Javascript's programming capabilites with CSS formatting and positioning abilites. With DHTML you can move things around on a webpage, make them appear/disappear without reloading the page and do a bunch of interesting things. Try searching Google for DHTML tutorial for more information.

Here are some of my favorite links on the subject

oh sorry about that. Just trying to help thats a really good site.

CSS is way cool, it replace each of little html tag. each of little html tag take too much time of coding and it page load smaller

Its good for making table's look more professional with borders and its also good for search engine optimization. For example you can make h1 and h2 tags the same size as all the other text. But besides that its not that usefull its just good to know.

I beg to differ with this. It is the W3C recommendation and standard to code with CSS. They make it very clear that CSS is to be used for presentation of the document and that HTML is to be used only for structure. In fact if you do not code with CSS, your web documents will no longer be valid to current standards. You can take your own home page as an example: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... nce.com%2F
