>>Therefore, if you want to talk about standard, you really need to DEFINE the set of standards you are talking about. I did. XHTML and CSS. http://www.w3.org/ http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1 http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ The web standards I am talking about are not as fluid as you indicate. there is a book coming out soon entitled, "Forward Compatibility: Designing & Building With Standards" by Jeffrey Zeldman Here is a chapter excerpt that is very worth reading: http://www.digital-web.com/features/feature_2002-09.shtml When we do get to the UI, I'd strongly suggest tableless layout. http://www.w3.org/2002/11/homepage http://www.w3.org/2002/03/csslayout-howto My suggestion to use web standards does not answer all the questions. That is just a basic starting point that I believe needs to be set as a ground rule before design elements are discussed. The current Sword Project site uses non-standard, invalid markup and I'd like to not fall into the same pitfall on a web front-end of Sword itself. by grace alone, Don A.
