| How many people really base their websites on CSS? Its extremely powerful and anyone getting into webdesign I really advice making your styling/theme for your website based on CSS principles as it makes it alot easier to update and gives you alot more control and options on your designs.

| I have no statistics to support my claim, but from what I see on the web, almost every recently designed HTML web site use CSS to some extent. However, pure CSS layouts seem to be still rare; CSS is used mainly for basic things like changing font styles and colors. I think there is a good reason for that because CSS support is still problematic across browsers. I hate to see my perfectly working CSS/JavaScript code break whenever a new version of a browser comes out (read Mozilla 1.3). Also, the Mac versions of Internet Explorer are not very compatible with their Windows brothers. Netscape 4 and Opera are of course a pain in the neck (especially NS4). So, for the time being, it makes a lot of sense to limit the use of CSS for layout purposes.

| I pretty much encourage if for the design/styling only really. Laying out with positioning is a bit problematic though as its still abit buggy with so many browsers out there. Be nice when it all works but for looks id advise css but still cant emphasise enough testing, testing and more testing in other browsers.

I'm actually rather fond of CSS for positioning and layout compared to tables. No more '3 pages of horizontal tabbing' code!
All my layouts now are DIVS with % positionings.

yes, there are a lot of sites where you could read about CSS. For the newbies i encourage you to begin reading here:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/
(it is a great site where you can learn almost ALL you need about HTML)
There are a lot of pages to read, so prepare several galons of coffee

All of my sites in the last 18months have used tableless css markup. A combination of % and ems measurements ensure that the page is liquid at any text size and with the right code hooks, creating differnt themes and skins with css is a major benefit over old bloated pixel sized table designs.
Some good resources:

I am able to get scrolling working using CSS and <div> tag.
What I am trying to do is dynamically change the height value if the <div> when the browser is resized.
Is this possible using scripting inside the CSS page.

css is definitely the way to go.
...and the sooner you lose your dependence on tables...the better off you will be too.
