As much as I would hate the idea, go old school completely. Forget CSS and use very basic HTML. Since you don't need anything fancy, don't use anything fancy. They won't know <div> from a table anyway because they need it work.
Good Luck. Really it should be very easy! On 6/12/07, Chris Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Well, there isn't a "look" yet, as I haven't designed it. It needs to be as simple as possible, so there's no really advanced stuff required and the design will reflect that. It's an intranet system, so only available to users with valid logins, hence it needs to work in a wide spread of browsers. My initial tests show that NN4.03 handles some CSS (float, background, border, font etc) but not some important things (list-style, margin and padding on lists). Is there a source for information about CSS support on old browsers?
