Truer words have not been often said: 'but once you've gotten over the hump [learning curve] you'll never look back'. CSS is a blessing which frees us from having to 'make do' and 'force' layout issues into markup language. Browser cross-compatibility? Well, that's not a blessing, it's a fantasy, but the experts here have never failed to provide concepts and understanding to help with those issues, including the eeeee-ville IE. My first CSS based layouts were simple...learning more about what can and can't be (easily) done is what we're all here for (at least in part, imnsho). These days I'm actually quite happy with how things come together. I find I code faster and more creatively now than ever. Personally I hope you don't avoid 'that climb'. I think you'll find the support mechanisms here and elsewhere rather helpful...and, the best part is that you'll be able to do more, more creatively...AND remain accessible. $0.02 delivered :) Kind regards, ~Ray ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
