I usually code a bit in XHTML and then do a bit of CSS for that XHTML, while checking it in browsers.

I usually code the site so It looks how I like it to in Safari or Firefox and then I upload it to a beta section of my site and then check it on the other browsers and then I use parrells to inmitate a pc just to make sure I dont get glicks in my final product.

I do in the same way of you. Always checking the results in browsers.

I use tables, its so easy and more reliable!

That's a joke, before you go off ranting.

On a serious note then, i code all the xhtml first, get all the content in and such, and then apply the css last. It's much quicker and easier to code that way, in my opinion.

I've always wanted to start doing it like that to see what the different pace is like. In the end I just end up doing both at the same time.

I made the change straight away when i thought about it, it effectively changes how you think. It makes it 10x easier as well. Just try it, you'll see

Think about coding as using CSS sprites. They are far quicker to load, because it cuts out all the back->forward->back->forward between the server. This is the same as alt+tab alt+tab all the time. Even though it may only take 5 seconds or w/e (or checking your coding in multiple browsers, that could take 30 seconds) it adds up, given that you'd check it 10-20 times per job. That means you could save 5 minutes per job (checking 10 times instead of 20), just for coding more before you check in the browsers. Even if you just did 1 job a day, thats 30 hours a year you have saved yourself checking in browsers when you didn't really have to. Save 5 minutes a job by writing all the HTML first, then the CSS, you've said yourself another 30 hours a year. You could save 60 hours a year just by changing your process slightly! I worded my example badly but it proves my point. And it applies to anything - act as if you've got a gun to your head which will go off if you don't get the job done in an hour. You'll find you can get it done sooo much quicker

Morale of the story? Keep finding ways to cut out 5 minutes - browser checking, HTML then CSS, emailing client, writing posts on forums...
