I have to admit, I'm using very much CSS code. But i don't use as much 
as you might think ;)
My general css file has about 1600 lines 
(www.ess-erfurt.de/dev/?type=1). There are some comments which have to 
be removed, some times a few rules are set twice and at some places 
you'll find a lot of spaces.. .. it's just in development..

Well I did not think about IE 4 yet, but all the others (i don't have a 
mac and so were only able to test the website on Safari) are supported 
;) (?type=2, ?type=3, ?type=4)

Text browsers don't use CSS.. So i haven't coded css for them ;) 
However: If there's a css textbrowser it should be capable of showing my 
website almost nicely.

Actually the stylesheets are short ;)

Take a look at www.ess-erfurt.de/dev/444.0.html
In our installation, there's a css for everything. For news, for 
comments, checklists, menus (layer menus), images, flash files, ... Most 
of what you see there is made with pure CSS (unlike www.ess-erfurt.de - 
our old (but currently running version)
If you switch CSS off, you'll see what CSS can do. BTW: There isn't a 
single hack for any browser, except margin:0px auto; and text-align:center;

As I told, we have css for everything. I wanted to make a website, 
that's 100% w3c valid in the end (the current encoding issues won't be 
there by thursday), completly secure (SSL) (later also captcha support, 
etc..) and 100% customizable. This means, we have over 40 different 
subtypes of our main CD which are all supported through CSS.

Nice :) But I have just used normal TYPOScript to do it..

BTW: Some advertisement: I do everything for free :-/
I don't earn a single cent with it. I would like to learn more about CSS 
and I would like to go to a web company and try whether this business is 
the right for me ;).
