Rules-based CSS design
Rules-based CSS design: Jeffrey Zeldman has an article today on using conditional tests in CSS2 rendering to control layout... "if next to this element do this, otherwise do that", etc... called "adjacent sibling selectors". But in practice that can be design-to-spec, vs design-to-realworld... browsers don't yet implement this as desired. After seeing so much hairpulling, sometimes it's tempting to be whip out "Just use Flash" in reply, but I know that'd just open a whole 'nother can of worms.... ;-)
