You can _never_ expect it to look a certain way. You can only hope. On Sat, Mar 03, 2001 at 08:14:39PM +0100, Josip Rodin wrote: > Yeah, but it has to look at least decently.

A wise web page writer should look into the "<div>" and "<span>" tags. HTML is for giving content in a structured manner; it's up to the browser to represent it as it thinks it should. CSS is a method of giving the browser engine additional hints for how to show it. I recently remade the web site for the FreeRADIUS project. Take a look at the source. It's not prefect, but it is correct and it's guaranteed to look as it _should_ in every browser.
