But that isn&#8217;t how reality works.<\/p>\n<p>This presentation will show you how to create several of the most commonly requested design effects using nothing but CSS (well, almost nothing but CSS).<\/p>\n<p>A couple quick notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This will be more of a demonstration than a presentation.

My next goal was to do it as <em>lightly<\/em> as possible (read: minimum overhead, minimum maintenance, maximum resuability).
