CSS/XHTML Resources
This page is the result of a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) workshop at Access Space held in September 2003. The workshop looked at using CSS for all aspects of web-page presentation and styling - including tableless page layouts.
As a result, this very page is a showcase of CSS positioning: no tables here... check the page source and see! (you could also take a peek at the style sheet for this page)
Anyway, the main purpose of this page is to make available all the materials and resources from the CSS workshop, so without further ado...
