| I know what CSS is and what it's for, but unfortunately, I don't know the benefits of it, or how to use it. So, can someone please explain to me that? | |||

| This should answer your first question. As for "how"... well, there are tutorials out there. I'm sure someone else knows a good one. Note: although it seems unfriendly at first, I highly recommend getting used to using CSS rather than styling with HTML. Once you get used to it it's much more flexible and consistent. |

| Excellent link. It is my strong belief that a website MUST look "awful" (as in, no colors, backgrounds, etc) with CSS disabled. HTML is for content, CSS is for beautification of that content. A pretty good resource for learning CSS and whatnot can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/ |

Originally posted by ParasyteI agree, noting, though, that it should only look "awful" to the extent that there are no custom colors, BG images, etc., in the page. It should still be functional, though. The page should use proper, semantically-correct markup so it does not depend on the CSS to convey structure or content. Basically, if headers are marked as headers, lists marked up as lists, tables (and only tables) marked up as tables, etc., then there should be enough information for the browser to understand the structure of the document; it'll just be presented with the browser default settings instead of your own. |

Psh. HTML is more for structure, CSS for making the structure look good, and whatever else you use for content (be it PHP, ASP, or HTML  ).Robotic Paranoia: use CSS whenever you can. It'll make the browsers happy (less bad code, you don't have to look out for as much), and it'll make your code shorter. |

| PHP and ASP are server-side languages, and have nothing to do with content or structure displayed in a browser. They may SEND and/or BUILD content for a browser, but it is always an SGML derivative (HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, etc.) that is used for content and structure. |
