It can be used for SOOOO much stuff, transparencies, image mapping (making a picture into a menu by dividing it up into sections), everything to do with fonts, hyperlinks, colours, layouts, boxes, menus, borders, letter spacing, word spacing, line spacing, font type, font weight (eg thin,normal, bold, extra bold), font stretching, indents, alignment, margins and padding, backgrounds, foregrounds and countless other things and on top of all that you have total control over how all the above is affected.

The good news is that it can be added into a single page on your site which means one single alteration can change the entire site, no more having to go through every page to make all the alterations that you need to a menu etc. Just change it on the 'Style Sheet' and it will automatically work across the entire site.

Heres a good example of a CSS gallery - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...image-gallery/

Here is a good example of a CSS menu (notice no flickering) - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...ors-tabs-menu/

I dont like the design on this one but see how the guy has managed to get corners cut out of the boxes around his text on the top left - http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/boxpunch/demo.html

Click my CATSNAPS link below and then click on any cat photo, the photo display system was done using CSS (and a bit of JavaScript).
