A document I wrote for my co-workers at a former job. Full of tips and practices that have helped me to deal with large sites and cross-browser inconsistencies.

This document is mainly regarding Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Version 1. It is assumed that the reader knows the basics of CSS1 and HTML4 or XHTML. The reader should also understand the benefits of structural markup (XML/XHTML) versus display markup (previous versions of HTML) and the concept of separation of content from display.
