Some good info there. Some of it is even correct, and will hold under stress. One small warning to beginners though: don't start plugging in *all* the wonderful solutions at a too early stage. No need to fix a problem before it shows up, or hack browsers to death in order to cure a "human bug" or other designer-flaws. Too many sites/pages out here that are built on clever solutions - and break because they are overloaded with hacks and fixes. Some of them end up on css-d for a re-fix :-) while most are ignorantly floating around on the web. I've got some myself, but I'm not ignorant about them. Plenty of good solutions around, but they are only useful if one knows how they work (and sometimes doesn't), and can sort the useful ones from the other stuff. One simply has to know the real stuff first. That knowledge is best acquired at the source: <http://www.w3.org/>, and then taken back to the browsers to see what they make out of it under stress. Browsers are useful as test-tools since we (usually) design real pages/sites with those in mind. However, it seems to me like many web designers don't know what their own browsers are able to do to a web page - any web page. Web designers should at least spend an hour familiarizing themselves with the regular capabilities each browser has - before starting designing for them. Some time spent surfing the web with _unlimited browsers_ would save lots of frustration and speed up debugging later on. Some young web designers may even have some hair left when they are at my age ;-) Oh, well, that's enough for now, I guess. Got some nasty browser-bugs to kill in the latest Firefox - 'CSS sledgehammer' style. IE/win is already dead... regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
