Like the web isn't meant to present design, just information? :)
Honestly - I spent a week now to check out CSS and DIV layouts in detail...
I appreciate the technical idea behind it - my customers don't 
appreciate the pricing thats 3 times as high, because we have to use 
hacks over hacks to make it look the same over various browsers and 
spend weeks on CSS just to make it work.

This is what I don't get about the whole thing.

But I would appreciate if you figure out some time in Kitz to show me 
some of the tricks you need to do things right.
