My comment was a joking plea to Johan to reconsider CSS :) > css is really crap And to your point, it isn't always the CSS, per se, that is the struggle - but rather, varying browser implementations. I think those csszengarden pages, browser hacks or not, do help a bit, to illustrate what is possible with CSS. In general, the *hacks* on those pages really simulate what CSS is designed to do - not compensate for it. I think that is a subtle but important point. > I still like the separation of markup for presentation and java for code Amen. And I think Wicket really elucidates those lines. @Johan It's not much consoluation but HTML has a twisted history - and CSS was really an afterthought. HTML wasn't necessarily designed for what it is being used for today/tomorrow. CSS is really - quite an elegant solution (conceptually at least) to the general problem we're stuck with. -Luther
