My question for Bob, and anyone else who has had to do table layouts recently, is this: Do these table layouts go in your portfolio? Do these clients recommend you to others as "one of those designers who will still do those 1998 designs we like so much?" I guess the big question is, how do these designs affect your image as a standards based designer? This is more a question for those who work alone; if you work in a big company then it isn't so much your reputation on the line but that of the company. My thinking is that if I ever had to do one of these sites, I would not put it in my portfolio. I would have made it clear to the client that I was doing it against my own good judgement and I would never want someone to think it was something I would do again. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.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 ******************************************************
