Website designers have been utilizing CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for many years now. Over and over again, however, I come across an argument that CSS offers no real advantage and whether you code with it or not is just a matter of preference and habit.

I couldn't disagree more.

If you are looking to improve the presentation of your website, CSS will help you do it more efficiently and effectively. CSS based design offers advantages that table-based layout can't compete with.

if you put # before any css tag, only IE 7 and IE 6 will read that line.
if you put _ before any css tag, only IE 6 will read that line.

example:

width: 560px;     /* All other browsers */ 
#width: 558px;    /* IE 6 & 7 */ 
_width: 557px;    /* IE 6 */

just remember to keep this order.
