and sometimes the world marches past 'cos they're too slow Lets hurry up and have CSS behavious added to the spec - it's a damn fine idea. the "camel" committee* has bandied this about for the last 4 years and (it seems) is still on the to do list. http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-becss-19990804 That way it'll actually integrate HTML, CSS and javascript and give us TRUE dhtml. my Friday 2c worth barry.b * "camel": a horse designed by committee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 8 July 2004 10:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Future.....(was: Re: [WSG] iFrames vs Scrolling Divs) >Well, to answer that i dare you to walk into any web-based enterprise that has a DHTML intranet, and say the >following words: >"Get rid of IFRAMES, and use something else" > >Wear some padding, as the fall from the window could be high. >Scott Barnes I think this demonstrates why having the "Web" vote on what should be standards falls flat.
