Is CSS a good thing? Does it slow loading times and does it cause compatibility issues on browsers? Can someone clear this one up for me because im just clueless and he's totally obsessed with using CSS on my pages.
CSS is an excellent way to control the appearance of all the elements and items on a website. It should not encumber the site, and there may be cross-browser compatibility issues dependent upon what you're trying to do accomplish. However, a good designer will know how to create valid CSS and HTML so these cross-browser issues are compensated for, or avoided altogether.
