CSS is awesome. It can lead to some real headaches when it comes to IE
though if you're doing anything very complex. Firefox, Safari, and Opera
are almost identical when it comes to CSS support now which makes life a
lot easier. I suggest using Javascript behaviors too whenever you need
to use Javascript. Pretty handy because it keeps your HTML clean and
lets you apply code in almost identical way to CSS.
I know of a UI tool (for Java on mobile devices) that lets you style the
UI of normal apps with CSS. That'd rock if it was available for Python
programs.
