I think we actually agree on this point Steve, but we are approaching the issue from vastly different perspectives. What I contend is this: (1) CSS is not up to the job of imitating tables based layouts, (2) Table based layout are worse, and (3) The problem is that we have a visual design expectation we are comfotable with that is wrong for the medium. I say the solution lies in design that uses the strengths of the medium and the tools at our disposal instead of designing like it's 1997, in other words: let's revisit the design. kind regards Terrence Wood. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
