I remember this blowing my <table>-addled brain in 2003. This site was what convinced me to really dig into CSS, and not just use a few inline styles as hacks. This also opened my mind to JavaScript at the same time (as I looked into "DHTML"). It was a pretty different web back then!

I'm amused at how I glanced at your comment and my mind sort of yelled "hey, that opening tag never gets closed! that's going to invalidate everyone else's comments below by making them part of that element!".

Maybe I'll say </table> here just in case. :-)

This is the same for me. When you came from a table based design approach, it was hard to know how powerful CSS was. This was to prove that an help developers overcome their fear. I loved this site!
