I read the Sitepoint article as well as the Web-digital one, I really don't think this kind of article will help the community to go forward as they are presented in a purely academic way. And because these demos are not for the real world, people look at them as nothing else than "experiments". Imho this goes against what you're saying . Web designers who could have made the effort won't go there because of poor browser support and those who're still living in 1998 are too happy to badmouth the technique as another "failure" of CSS when it comes to build browser-friendly layouts. Anyway, as some of us have shown before there are other ways to make it work in IE: http://tjkdesign.com/articles/css-layout/no_div_no_float_no_clear_no_hack_no _joke.asp And to answer your other point. As Ingo mentioned in one of the comments following the Sitepoint article [1], the real deal is not display:table, but inline-block! Sorry for the rant :-( [1] http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/02/28/table-based-layout-is-the-next-big -thing/#comment-654940 -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
