This gets rid of most ads. > CCS was simply invented to make websites more data entensive than ever > if you ask me. CSS was invented to separate content from presentation. If you want to see what you get when you do not separate them, look at FO. It is basically HTML-3 without CSS or structural markup. Instead, almost everything is inside the equivalent of "<font>" tags. > It also completely takes user control away. It gives the user control back. * In Firefox, Go to http://ldots.org/ and click on the crayon-icon at the bottom-left of the window. Select an alternate stylesheet. Rinse and repeat if desired. You can pull the same trick in Opera and earlier versions of Moz, it is less obvious than in Firefox. > If you want a world where one size fits all then why don't we all just > upgrade to windows 95 (with the standard gray colour scheme) and be done > with it?!?! I do not want a one-size fits all world. Stylesheets allows you to get away from that by providing different formatting for different classes or users, be they blind, mobile, or whatever. > TABLES > > The best websites I've ever seen are done with nothing more than a bunch of > tables. Problem with tables is most people don't know how to use them. The problem with HTML is that most people do not how to use it. Sigh. By the way, you left out the semicolons in the stylesheet. -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.ldots.org/
