Design without tables question

[Johana Solendhal]

I'm currently in the process of designing my site without tables deffining the positioning of the content in an external CSS.

If the CSS loading fails, is there an alterrnative to the elements positioning?

[The New Guy]

The browser looks for CSS in this order.

External (link ref)
Internal (style tags)
Define within the tags (<h1 style="")

If it cant find anything it will render like normal HTML.

If you use strucured semantic xhtml then your page will make more sense with or without css.

However I don't see any need to worry about css suddenly not loading if you've coded everything correctly and tested.
