Ideally, you wouldn't unless: - You are not using a graphical browser (i.e., you like text browsers, you are blind, or you are Google) but can still use the site because content and layout are separated and you can ignore the fancy layout. - You are using a PDA or cellphone or are blind or are a printer and can still use the site because alternate CSS stylesheets are provided for those media. - You are using next year's standards-compliant browser, or any non-Microsoft browser and can still use the site because it's layout doesn't rely on last year's Internet Explorer bugs. - You are in charge of redesigning the site and have an easy time of it because all you have to do is rewrite the CSS files -- no need to touch content in the XHTML files at all. For all these reasons we are currently redesigning the Brooklyn Museum of Art web site with standards compliant XHTML and CSS, so in a few months we will hopefully be a good example of a standards-compliant museum website. -- Sean Redmond Brooklyn Museum of Art --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [email protected]
