Can we have a drumroll please, cause I officially state now that I am in full agreement with Al here ;-) In addition to the aforementioned, I had quite a big success getting our junior developers up to speed with proper resources, one of them being the Dan Cederholm's Web Standards Solutions book: http://www.simplebits.com/publications/solutions/ It is a wonderful hands-on book which allows you to look up what you need to do. It describes all the small building blocks that make a page and what the issues and best practises with each of them are. If you are in the sad position of support for very old and outdated browsers there is Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation which covers most of the woes we have with them. http://www.friendsofed.com/books/159059231x/ A clever librarian does not need to know the content of all the books in the library, but where to find what quickly. I know it is no real answer to what you asked for, but with good resources like those and online ones ( http://www.icant.co.uk/of/feeds.php?t=css ) you can tackle one problem at a time and get there in the end. -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
