Thank you Eric for suggesting this comes back in, for the subject seems more than a surface issue. Humbly, for the admirable solutions I've seen here often leave me in awe, it appears to me that the list has to a great extent driven towards and filled the gap caused by unnecessarily disparate browser producers. Fixes produced and referred to by CSS gurus like Zoe, George and of course Eric,* et al, whilst proving helpful in the extreme to the CSS masses (and shaming browser manufacturers) leave open a remaining need for a standard approach. I, for instance, prefer a global CSS file to handle majority site structure and call small additional files for specific portions of a site or cross-browser "balancing" (IE=pain). So I'm almost at one with Tony here. As browser technology oh so sloooowly moves towards meeting standards, and with accessibility issues now law in many jurisdictions, I frequently wonder if there is a better approach than the one I adopt. An approach that will work to standards in so far as possible, and requiring little adjustment when browsers change. Goggling, reading and corresponding have not helped me so far - and neither has the unknown position of the coming IE7. Given the foregoing, I wonder if feedback gleaned from this thread could form the basis of something solid for adoption in a general approach to using CSS layout skeletons. Is methodology espoused by Boldfish/Andy Budd the way to go or simply a springboard people here can use as a starting point for use with "modern" browsers? Will the list take the lead or is there a more appropriate place to deal with the subject?... Mike A. *Apologies from this lurker of years for not mentioning all those other gurus who frequently guide, help and coax from as far south as South America to the northern extremities. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
