No - as soon as you try to allow any sort of flexibility into a table-based design you discover that the html specs allow multiple table sizing/rendering algorithms and that the browser vendors exploit this freedom to gain advantages such as render speed. Trying to make flexible tables consistent cross-browser is every bit as frustrating as css bugs can be. For me, one of the complelling arguments for css is SEO. Search engines like quality content early in the source. Many sites which have 800 lines of HTML (I've seen as many as 2000+) to lay out the top headers and left-navigation before the content starts would rank much higher if the content started on line 43. -- Richard Grevers New Plymouth, New Zealand Orphan Gmail invites free to good homes. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
