DCSS is a relatively fashionable technology at the moment -- it's been around for a while, and browser support has progressed to a point that you can start to use it without alienating large chunks of your userbase.

I won't claim universal support, but it is as ubiquitous as any other technology in your modern-day web-design toolbox (such as Flash for example).

CSS is pretty scary stuff when you first look at it -- the W3C spec is monstrous. My aim in this article is not to ask all of you to invest weeks of time in learning every facet of this strange beast but to try and impart some simple uses of it that will help save time in your day-to-day work as a web designer.
