Layouts lib vs. pure CSS

[dolittle]

Hi

I`ve been told that pure CSS is the fast and right way to design a website.

I see that you guys are using the layouts lib to devide the page into sections.
It looks great and probably allot easier to implement then CSS.

Don`t you loose the speed and logic of separating design from content?

Thanks.

It is done with CSS! How else do you think things are positioned, coloured, bordered, imaged etc?

so I guess it`s only does all the hard work for you.

Thanks

What I was trying to say is that I know that in the end it`s CSS

but when you are using WYSIWYG editor for html and css you sometimes don`t know what you`ll get and it won`t be the most efficient way of doing things.

My question was if the same is true for the layouts.
It looks great and it may take minutes to implement for a skilled yui-ext programmer
but won`t it slow down the website and load it with javascript?

just asking, I`m just a beginner

Yes, it is a little slower than static HTML styed by static CSS.

But the usability is the key. We can create desktop-like apps.

There's much more power on the client than on the server on a per-user basis. If 1000 people access a server, it can only handle a certain amount of processing. The user is usually the sole user on a PC. Delegating work to the client seems a good idea.

Sure it slows things down a tad. But what we make with Ext are not websites but web applications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application).
