What coding practices are considered 'good'
are always changing.
Things like cookies, frames, CSS, are often the greatest thing on the net one week and utterly horrid and deprecated the next. I remember about four years ago someone saying cookies were going to be outlawed in the US. There's no way you can keep up with what's the cool tool of the week. Just make things that (a) look nice, and (b) work. (Shrug.)

But while I'm here, a personal hate of mine is fixed-by-pixel font sizes, which CSS sites tend to result in, where you can't enlarge the text, and it's often too tiny to be readable.

Mind you I'm a web programmer, Jim, not a web designer.

ARSEBADGERS.
That just prompted me to check one of my sites to make sure you can resize the text. You can, but if you expand it more than about 300% everything breaks out of its boxes.

No one will ever make a website
that looks good like they want no matter what browser is being used to look at it, at whatever font size, etc. You just have to accept that people with their settings near enough to your own will see roughly what you see.
