you should see my stylesheet it has a lot in it the only thing i dont do is the div's | CSS design is better for older browser, you can use @import and if their browser doesnt support css it doesnt include the css only making a fly text version  plus it makes it easier to bobby approve your site if you use <div> instead of <table> I have run into problems with bobby approval unless I use <div> not only that css is easier and faster to render for browsers then tables  plus if you want xhtml compatibility you better learn css or your screwed because xhtml 1.1 doesnt have support for <table> width and height attributes, it has to be set via CSS
html>td tr {
width: 178px;
}
which could be easily translated to css as <div id="content">
#content{
background-color: #5c5
width: 178px;
height: 178px;
}
html>#content
width: 178px;
height:178px;
My site uses div rather then table based design, im not worried about "designers" "programmers" im worried about audiance and how they will interpet the site and how fast it will load for them, my number one goal is to create a php site that is not only loading fast on 28k but can process large amounts of data in under 30secs!
Example from my site:
Code:
#Wrapper {
margin: 35px auto;
padding: 0px;
width: 678px;
}
html>#Wrapper {
width: 678px;
}
which makes the main area on the site
