CSS layout uses style sheets to define the placement of elements on a web page. Typically CSS layout replaces tables, which are currently the most popular method of placing page elements. There is a common misconception that CSS layout techniques are incapable of producing complex page layouts. While it is true that tables generally provide more flexibility, I will show you that complex layouts are quite possible with CSS.
