Hi Nathan, First of all I don't see any reason why the Help icons need to be in the tab order. You could set a more appropriate tab order in the markup that skips the Help icons, whilst still providing other methods of accessing the help text. For example, you could use a server-side scripting la

[WSG] Absolute Positioning-A Naive Question (Maybe)

The main reason I dont use absolute positioning for all my layout is that most of the sites I build require footers at the base of the page content. With every page of differing content length the only way to achieve this is to float and then clear for the footer. Thats just me. There are wiser b

Here's a potentially naive response ... does it matter? As long as the (x)html is semantically marked up, does the rationale behind your css code make a difference (taking into account the fact that it should look the same on all browsers)? The ONLY function of css is the control of the visua
