From the Duckett HTML book:

• Layout:
• CSS provides sufficient flexibility to combine various layout options together and achieve the desired structure especially with the help of the display, position and float properties of CSS.
  
• “div” elements are often used as containing elements to group together sections of a page. Browsers display pages in normal flow unless you specify relative, absolute, or fixed positioning.
  
• The float property moves content to the left or right of the page and can be used to create multi-column layouts. (Floated items require a defined width.) Pages can be fixed width or liquid (stretchy) layouts. Designers keep pages within 960-1000 pixels wide, and indicate what the site is about within the top 600 pixels (to demonstrate its relevance without scrolling).
  
• Grids help create professional and flexible designs. CSS Frameworks provide rules for common tasks. You can include multiple CSS files in one page.
