>You have almost completely re-think your UI when you are developing for a different device. Re-using CSS layouts is nearly impossible for that.

You don't re-use the CSS, you re-use the HTML. That's the point. All it needs is a new style sheet, not a whole new webapge.



I expect that by "CSS layout", they meant "HTML which is laid out by CSS".


Even if they did, you can basically re-do the entire UI without touching the HTML if you separate presentation from it by using CSS.


I'll agree that that's the ideal, but I've also found that designers and clients are good at coming up with layouts for which it is far simpler to change the HTML than to try to contort it into the right places with CSS.
