There would have been two problems with taking that route when the border property was added to CSS. The first is that it would have been inconsistent with the rest of CSS, which would have been a barrier to everyone learning the language (not just those migrating from pre-98 techniques). I'd far rather have a language be internally consistent then consistent with something now obsolete. The second is that it would have been far less flexible. The CSS way allows different cells to have different border styles. Still, the decision was made almost a decade ago. I happen to think it was the right one, but it is far too late for it to change if you disagree. -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk><http://blog.dorward.me.uk> ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
