    lol, CSS can't work without HTML. You should learn both.

    XHTML and CSS is a great skill to have.

    Sorry i didn't explain myself too well, I was actually referring to the layout of HTML (eg using tables etc) or CSS code.

    Thanks

    No. Never use tables for your layout, CSS always. Only use tables for tabular data.

    CSS is a part of HTML coding, usually you call it XHTML.
    And yeah these days everybody prefer CSS, rather than those early days of HTML and Tables based coding.

    It's a never ending story. Let's see how long this thread goes before someone actually reads it.

    Lets sum everything up into one post, shall we?

    In order to use CSS, you must use (X)HTML. (X)HTML is used to build webpages and CSS is used to style them. You do need to learn and use both if you wish to build a legit website. When you use tables for tabular data, you may use CSS to style them.

    CSS over table layout always. simply because the semantic web is becoming more popular and correct markup is expected from professional websites these days.

    You should use XHTML and CSS. And if you do things right, you might should make sure that your source code validates for SEO reasons.

    You must be newbie to the web stuff.
    Html is markup and css is style, they must work collaborative.
    Do you think you can choose only one of them? :confused:
