Yeah, good point. I'm too stuck in my server side processed land where that wouldn't matter. I'm not a big HTML user. : I'll give it a try.

They're not hurting you, but improving the layout considerably on : eg. Opera (yes, Opera, on my PDA or future mobile phone). The skin : originally was created without any CSS and was working fine on the : author's Pocket IE.

If your styles are only adding to the appearance in other places, but not detracting from it in others, then it does not apply to what I had meant. For instance, you'll notice in the commented out HTML I had some <hr>'s with inline styles; <hr style="color:white;border:0px;margin:0px;height:1px"/> I was using the thin white lines to separate each section, which looked great in firefox where I was testing. Unfortunately Blazer (palmOne Blazer v4.0 to be exact) put in full width/ugly hrs. Two lessons learned; I had no idea what CSS/styles were to begin the evening, then after learning how to use them I had to go replace them all with <font> tags and comment out the hrs. I just didn't want anyone else to go through the same pain =). Thanks for the input Michael. --mikeb _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
