Did you not read the rest of the paragraph above Tom? I thought it was quite clear, but I'll put it another way: state the features and benefits in terms that appeal to the client in a way in which they understand. These are mostly quite different from how designers and developers see their work. It's also known as "selling" =) > The whole basis to my point is that in our little virtual situation, it's too late. Maybe this time Tom... what about next time? What an opportunity! How valuable is a employee who knows how to innovate, has a deep seated concern for the well-being of the company, and contributes to the professional development of his colleagues? I understand the situation you are in, I do. You need to effect organizational change first. I have already said, if you must use a table, then use it. No sweat. I'm not advocating throwing out the baby with the bath water. I'm advocating actively changing something somewhere, rather than have change act upon you. Stand up and be counted. I believe in your situation *your* clients are the designers (?), account managers (?), and everyone else (?) who is involved in bringing a site to life and getting agreement from the people who are ultimately paying the bill. Get *these* people excited about standards design, again, in terms that appeal to them in a way that they will understand. > Simple as that. Yes it is. 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 ******************************************************
