There’s nothing like the sweet smell of cascading style sheets to snap you out of a late summer funk. Advanced CSS Layouts: Step by Step documents the process of replicating WebReference.com’s very own convoluted, nested-table nightmare of a home page completely in CSS.

No, far from it. And it’s not as if there isn’t plenty of frustrating things to complain about and geeky stuff … More
