Making CSS Accessible to All

Thinking of a redesign? Your site a little too 1998? Want to get rid of those tables once and for all? Accessibility rules and plain old common sense dictate that you should be using CSS for page layouts. There are dozens of resources on the web where you can find bare-bones CSS layout templates for all levels of expertise. But for web programming, simpler always equals better.

Eric Costello of glish.com has compiled a set of basic and light-weight CSS templates for 2, 3, and 4-column layouts, both fluid and static. So speaketh Eric:

If you are looking for help making the transition to CSS layout (that’s Cascading Style Sheets), you’ve come to the right place. I am cataloging here as many useful cross-browser CSS layout techniques as I can find, and some that I made up when I was bored last Thursday. All the examples on this site have been reduced to only their essential code, and you will find the source displayed on each page to hopefully make it quick and easy to understand the inner workings of the CSS. Feel free to steal all the code you find on this site, and consider linking back here on your site or in your source comments.

He also has links to tutorials to get you started, or to refresh your already expansive memory, whatever the case may be.
