.NET reflection/abstraction of HTML?

I'm curious about the possibility of having a .NET class library that provides a complete abstraction of HTML (and perhaps CSS styles as well). There would be a .NET class for every kind of HTML element, and even abstract classes (e.g. an abstract base class 'List', which 'OrderedList' and 'UnorderedList' extend). The elements could be...

I want them to align vertically, but the first list item is always being pushed a pixel or two two far to the right, so it no longer lines up with the other members in the list. As far as I'm concerned, this list looks fine in IE7/8, FF3, and C...

Recommend good ways of extending CSS

I have been looking at LESS (http://lesscss.org/) which adds variables and macro like features to CSS. This means you can define an RGB colour once somewhere, then use that variable all through your CSS. Basically, it looks like a really cool solution. However, it depends on Ruby, which is not part of my normal dev stack, so I thought I...

CSS and JavaScript Conditionally Repositioning onScroll an Absolutely Positioned DIV

They would like to have a back to top element that appears at 1200px from top in the nav column and then continues to reposition as you scroll to say 200 from top.
