    Can anyone tell me how this website works? I thought I knew a bit about coding but this totally throws me off.

    I really would like to know how it works. How are people able to signup and post with what little code there is?

    http://www.poopface.com/

    If you don't wish to visit, here is what is throwing me off. This is all the code that is in the head of their site:
    <html>
<head>
	<title>PoopFace ~ Tell the HATERS to **** off.</title>
	<style type="text/css" media="all">
	/* <![CDATA[ */
		body {margin:20px;padding:0px;}
		body,td,input,textarea,select {font-family:Verdana;font-size:11px;}
		.inputerror{color:#cc0000;}
		#footer{padding-top:15px;margin-top:15px;border-top:1px solid #cccccc;}
		img{border:0px;}
		.content{margin-top:15px;margin-left:20px;width:550px;}
		h2{font-weight:normal;}
		.post{
			padding-bottom:15px;margin-bottom:15px;border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc;
		}
		#argument{
			margin-bottom:15px;border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc;
		}
		.postby{color:#888888;font-size:9px;margin-bottom:4px;}
		.postbody{font-size:12px;}
		.postadmin{
			font-size:9px;
			color:#AAAAAA;
			padding-bottom:5px;
		}
		.Red{color:#dd3333;}
		.Blue{color:#3333dd;}
		form{margin:0px;padding:0px;}
		#threadlisttitles td {font-size:9px;}
		a {color:#BC2929;}
		a:hover {background-color:#BC2929;color:#ffffff;}
		.warnings{
			padding:10px;
			background-color:#ffffcc;
			color:#990000;
			font-size:12px;
			margin-bottom:15px;
		}
	/* ]]> */
	</style>
</head>
    Code (markup):
    The rest just appears to be a div with a table inside... What am I missing?

    The code that you're listing is just the css.

    You would have to see the code that is running behind the scenes to figure out how it's working. You won't be able to get that from just the html and css.

    Right, but shouldn't there be some code somewhere that says it is calling in some sort of script other than the css or whatever?

    Well, when you click on the "Got a Beef, Post it Here" link, it links to /post. There's probably an index page (index.php, index.asp, etc.) there that runs.
