For anyone who is still mired in the HTML Tag Soup of old-style web page design, the question, “Why should I switch to using CSS” often arises. Here’s an excelent real world example. [via scottandrew.com] It’s true that busting your butt to make a webpage fully XHTML (or even HTML 4.0) compliant might not be “necessary” for your application.
