Hi, Bob There's so many ways to argue and defend the pros of doing XHTML and CSS layout! First, it reduces bandwidth, it saves time (and therefore money ;-) in maintenance and updating, it is flexible and reusable. Take a look at http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/index.html. There's a very good and simple exposition of why using standards are a good thing (specially a part Go get your boss, that gives you the right arguments to explain that to your bosses). Good luck!

Good Day everyone: I have been doing the annual maintenance/update of a Holiday Home letting site I've had for a few years, so this year I attempted to convert it all to standards. It is now XHTML1 /CSS and most of it validates. (I say most because there is a bit of Flash and some of it uses frames). I have kept a couple of 'naughty' tables (as yet) because I simply haven't managed to convert to a stable/reliable alternative, but overall I was quite pleased with it. Anyway, as I had recently installed Firefox on the PC's in the office of this holiday business, I decided to show the owner how wonderful the update was [ :-) ]. I explained about standards to this (non-technical) person and, using Firefox developer's toolbar, I showed her the abysmal results of validating the sites of her competitors, and she was obviously pleased. She seemed to understand the basis of 'standards', but after a few minutes reflection she said: I can appreciate that I am getting a 'quality' product, but from a practical point of view, what am I getting that improves my business? As far as visitors to my site are concerned there seems to be no advantage - after all, my competitor's sites may well be outdated, but they do actually WORK, so my customers don't see any benefit.
