take a look at http://www.csszengarden.com . The site is a simple html and all the design effects are made in CSS. In the right menu you have 8 another css look of the same html file. It's quite nice. You can find tutorials there as well. So yes, the new goal is, i think, to make a html only with the content...no tables at all, no design element, and the look of the site to be made only in CSS. I work in csszengarden way right now so it is possible

Fun with CSS??
Or CSS Art?

Ok sorry if you feel this is off topic, but people made this using CSS, and a special slant-code (I have yet to figure out).
By the way, I believe you can do anything using CSS that you can do using tables, plus it will load faster. And the best thing about it is you can change the whole look of your website without going back and redoing it. You only have to edit the CSS file.

Aren't website supposed to be done with HTML/CSS.
HTML is the markup language, where all the content is being stored and CSS is used to style and layout the website. The whole idea behidn CSS is to keep content and design seperated.
I prefer nice clean HTML/CSS websites over those heavy loading flash sites anyday.
Having an HTML/CSS website doesn't mean that you can't have image tags, IMG is part of HTML ...

I agree. I'm not into flash, especially how a lot of people I know run on 56k. take a look at http://m00.laughingllamas.com/ it's pretty much html, and just 1 picture, and it's very basic, simple, and effective except the font is small, but that's a different issue. (Actually I think this is not good html, very messy and the verification is bad, 17 mistakes...). But anyways it looks good. So yes, it is possible.

amhso, I have to disagree with you there as that site you have shown us is not effective as I do not even know what it is about without delving into the site more. I think that this is possible as seen.it as suggested. CSS is very powerful if you know what you are doing, I think that some people have been scarred from people who have skipped learning html and css.

A lot of outdated tags are part of HTML and in my opinion IMG gets used far too often as does table. I prefer to keep all images in the CSS along with the colors, layout, etc and just have content in the HTML file.

In some occurances images are part of the content - for exaple a photo in a news story. But yes I agree that IMG tags are being abused and there are many ways to show an image with out the img tag - using css.

Yes I think it's possible but have yet to come across one. What I want to see is a layout in tables where every cell is 1pixel filled with a color and thats how the whole layout is made. Now that would be cool...stupid but cool!
