Who is using CSS to design layout of website ?

I sow that in the forum application there are a lot of table to obtain the right design.
Could be interesting to have a CSS linked.

The posts themselves are tabular data so are best represented in tables.

Ok For the forum but the general layout like the Header the sidebar and the general structure of the content could be easity managed with CSS using DIV
Also the right menu and the top menu could be in CSS

a lot of the time some users don't allow CSS, thats why if you want to be 100% compatible with all browsers and visitors its best to try and not use CSS.

As it then gives the same look. i also found this using Firefox and IE.. they can give 2 different outputs.

Most currently used browsers support css. The ones that don't are several years old. Granted that you have to put in tweaks to cover browsers with a broken implementation of the CSS standard, but there's only a half dozen or so tweaks that you have to be aware of.
 
The convention among developers using CSS is to code to standards and then tweak for compatibility. IE seems to be the most broken browser and a lot of people code so it looks good in IE and then tweak for the other browsers. One day, MS will fix IE and bring it up to the standard and then their sites will be broken.
 
As far as the same look goes, even with tables for layout you run into browser discrepencies as different browsers display html elements different ways. - e.g. One browser pads a <p></p> tagset with 5 px of white space, another uses 10 px.
 
The web is not print media. The best you can do is to suggest a layout. It's up to the browser to determine how it actually displays it.

this is the way i code.

try to not use CSS and use a skin file (change font etc from there). that way you don't have to be relient on CSS.

i agree a lot of browsers use it. but i also know a lot of people that have it disabled.

i admit i do use CSS. but only as a visual extra or if i really have to.

I know you can override it with your own style sheet but how do you disable CSS?

HTML and CSS are constant, all a web browser does is interpret the code in it's own way, a sort of 2D renderer for code.
