CSS Zen Garden

"The [geek] in me, is chained by frail and fragile bonds..."

Wow, this site, the CSS Zen Garden really shows great examples of what can be done simply with CSS style sheets. (Yes, that's "Cascading Style Sheets" style sheets.) The HTML of the site stays the same, and the only difference is the style sheet. You can get amazingly different look and feels just by changing the style sheet! (Which is of course exactly what CSS was made for!)

Of course, not all the style sheets work on Internet Explorer. Of course! Why should the most used browser stoop to being standards compliant? Why? Of course, these standards (CSS1 and HTML4) are only about three years old.
