Must be the dutch/swedish version. http://www.csszengarden.com is the correct one. > Select any design on the right-hand sidebar.

Actually I don't consider it a good showcase for the flexibility of CSS, it shows what you can do with CSS to create nice designs. I found especially in the last year showing Zengarden to clients a bad move as they ask you to implement the same designs (which are in a lot of cases just showcasing image replacement) in the CMS driven multilingual site. Dave actually mentions something like this in the book, too, which is a good read. Try resizing the font in most designs to see how they break. I am not dissing Zengarden, I just point out that it is not a good showcase for the flexibility of CSS layouts or CSS in General. For its beauty, yes. Maybe it is time to go one step further and create a showcase for the flexibility of CSS vs. strict table layouts. The beauty of resizing. I tried a year ago with http://www.csstoolshed.com and will ditch it soon as not many cared. > That being said, I still use tables when there is absolutely no other > way to give the designer (here, anyway) what he/she wants.
