I love what you guys are saying and I see the benefit of it TOTALLY. I took a break, went to see a movie (Cabin Fever), I am now relaxed and will try again.. With tables it's just so easy, you see the design and you can create it, with CSS it sort of mix and match, and like James said difficult because it renders different in each browser. So you need to understand each browser.
The thing that also gets me is, it's just not logical sometimes, like I have 2 columns, 1. Navigation 2. Content If I have them in that order I can say to the Navigation "float: right" and all works fine, but if I have them in the following order 1. Content 2. Navigation And I say "float: right" it is positioned on a new line, I just don�t see what the difference is? Anyway, things like that just get my blood boiling because I want to understand it and I need to see the logic of it all before I can understand it..;-) Taco Fleur Tell me and I will forget Show me and I will remember Teach me and I will learn > -----Original Message----- > From: russ weakley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, 7 December 2003 2:10 PM > To: Web Standards Group > Subject: Re: [WSG] Too Much Space.. > > > Don�t feel bad!
