In general, I agree. In this case I was trying to find a workaround for firefox bug (which I really must make time to investigate properly). My workaround should have been harmless, but turned out not to be, due to IE stupidity. I am not particularly enamoured of the IE7-only hacks that are circulating, like this: http://www.brothercake.com/site/resources/reference/xxx/ while this one relies on deprecated XHTML: http://www.ibloomstudios.com/article7/ (Also, calling Safari a "minority browser" is absolute foolishness. > Konqueror or Epiphany *maybe* but definitely not Safari.) > > It is used by a minority of web surfers, and (by the way) so is Firefox - they are minority browsers. I tend to cater to FF more than other minorities as it is the #2 browser by a very long way. Still, I wouldn't want to write CSS that would screw up in a perfect standards-compliant browser, should one exist. Variations in actual support, though, I may not have time to work around. In this particular case, as I tried to say at the end, any damage arising should be minimal. Graceful degradation, if you like. -- Chris Ovenden http://thepeer.blogspot.com "Imagine all the people / Sharing all the world" ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
