I absolutely agree. CSS is a monster. It is infinitely better than the table nightmares it replaced but it is still heinous in the extreme and inflicting it on innocent children is a terrible, terrible thing. Width should mean width. Width should either take a number :width => 123 or an array: :width => [:margin => 1, :text_space => 2, :border => 3] -- Giles Bowkett Podcast: http://hollywoodgrit.blogspot.com Blog: http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com Portfolio: http://www.gilesgoatboy.org Tumblelog: http://giles.tumblr.com
