a quick question

[miles]

I am working on learning css and I have a question.

1. Is there a real benifit to using css since you still have to build the page the same since some browsers dont support css?

Check out this thread on css facts and myths [webmasterworld.com].

you still have to build the page the same

Not at all!

CSS = no font tags, no tables (for layout), no layout attributes in the tags

Plus, you only have to define the styles once, in a single style sheet, and then import it on all pages.

This means that if you have 5000 pages and want to change the font from Verdana to Arial you no longer have to edit 5000 pages, with perhaps 15-20 font tags each - all you do is update once - in your style sheet.

some browsers dont support css

Do you have a lot of NN3 and IE3 visitors? Even the crappy NN4 and IE4 browsers support basic style sheets.
