I don't understand the point of trying to demonize CSS as responsible for poor web design.

No! I wont have that. Its a certain breed of designers doing that, not CSS. The behavior too pervades the web to be any one breed. Moreover, there's pervasive instruction in use of CSS, and some of the power that CSS includes, that leads the breed to believe CSS is intended to be determinative rather than suggestive. Practitioners routinely use CSS power to such extent that user power to override what is supposed to be suggestion as a practical matter is little short of lip service. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

Felix Miata *** http://fm.no-ip.com/ Quickly resizing my browser width, I don't notice any MQs on the newegg site as far as I can tell. What I do see is failure to accommodate larger font sizes in the layout and therefore things over flow their containers or get cropped. That's poor planning. This is failure on the designers/devs part. Not CSS's. Is CSS responsible for the containers not flexing? Technically, yes. Did it get into the site by itself and mess things up? No. It was used incorrectly. -- Tom Livingston | Senior Front-End Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
