I misinterpreted your meaning on that statement. What I was leaning towards was, for example, using something like :hover on attributes other than a tags, or using Javascript to simulate a :hover effect. Since IE doesn't recognize :hover apart from anchor tags, I only use :hover on anchor tags. >> And if that architect happens to be using NN4.x? I go through our statistics every Monday, and also print out a copy to hand to our owner. In the two years I've worked here, I believe I've seen a version of NN other than 7 once. However, if NN4.x was the predominant browser being used to access our sites, I would definitely design and code in such a way that it would work exactly like I wanted in NN4.x. >>There is nothing "filthy" about pursuit of profit, unless you see its >>pursuit as an end onto itself.

My poor attempt at humor, and flashbacks to a fundamental upbringing, and yes, completely off topic, however, making the point that for commercial sites, it's 100% about making money, not about perfect, compliant code. :) >>And ignore standards by writing IE proprietary code? Somehow, I would >>guess not; otherwise you probably wouldn't be a member of this list. I think I was misunderstood here. I don't use any IE proprietary code at all, nor do I use "hacks". Rather, my point was that I style first and foremost for IE, not for FF/Opera/NN/Safari/etc. Cheers, Collin Davis Web Architect Stromberg Architectural Products p 903.454.0904 f 903.454.3642 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] web www.strombergarchitectural.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
