A CSS portal site
We just launched a portal website, using all css for layout. Unfortantly, you can’t get into the portal unless you sign up. The external marketing pages use a somewhat css-table hybrid for layout.
Not only does the portal use CSS layout but the shopping cart does too. We used 3 style sheets for the site. One for the portal, another for the shopping cart, and a global stylesheet. The layout is currently fluid (expandable to any size in the window). There were several struggles in getting that to work but if we decide to change in to fixed width, it will only require one change to a property in the stylesheet. Behold the power of CSS!
