Thanks for keeping the discussion focused on *DIVs* ;) And yes, that's the whole point I've been trying to make. IMO, the use of DIVs carry no semantic, they are neutral and that's why we can abuse them. Using empty ones to clear elements, using double wrappers, etc. > None of which, by the way, Thierry, is intended to detract from the skill and ingenuity of your IMPRESSIVE demonstration. Thanks. I must say I got what I paid for, as I knew the title of the article was "provocative" :) -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
