One man's 'glorious' it's another man's 'unimpressive' i guess - If you fancy the layout and are impressed by a 800x600 window, you can do it in HTML. There's nothing in CSS that confines you to cluttered 3 columns layouts - Accesibility-wise, you can't make the text biggerm 'nuff said. (I just called my father to check it and he said the text is too small for him.

I hope to be doing much better than that, and still be easily outskilled by many members of this list :) -- Manuel a veces :) a veces :( pero siempre trabajando duro para Simplel�gica: apariencia, experiencia y comunicaci�n en la web. http://simplelogica.net # (+34) 985 22 12 65 �Ah! y escribiendo en Logicola: http://simplelogica.net/logicola/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
