Using anything /may/ cause problems -- it's the experience/skill of the user that makes the difference. -snip- (good points on disabilities) >CSS is a wonderful tool, but CSS shouldn't be used to "repair" what's >been "intentionally broken" for whatever reason.

Yeah, but that doesn't stop people from using a screwdriver to drive a nail. The point is that css _can_ be used in various ways to accomplish it's canonical purpose, which is to separate content from presentation. As with everything, repair/broke, good/bad, should/shouldn't -- they are all in the eye of the beholder -- I can only judge how it affects me. tedd -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
