Re: [WSG] bar graph with html 4.01 strict + css

[Sam Walker]

Hmm, that is an interesting solution. I guess I never really thought 
about it, but is that what inline style is for? Style that is 
considered part of the content? I guess I always just thought it was 
another place to put style (if you don't need it to apply to multiple 
documents) and that style should never be used to express content. 
However, it does make sense – there are some times where styling really 
is part of the content.

Granted, the graphs are very nice. However, wouldn't this be

It seems like the only way to do this the right way is to use an 
image for the graph.
This might be an appropriate time to use inline styles.  So instead of 
having the #bargraphX .used and #bargraphX .unused selectors setting 
the width, the divs would have a style attribute attached like this:

<div id="bargraph0" class="bargraph">
  <div class="used" style="width: 45%;">45%</div>
  <div class="unused" style="width: 55%;">55%</div>
</div>
Then the basic information is in the page and not in the CSS.
