I think the problem posed is that *every* td has the same thing, the same thing, the same thing, so why should a class have to specified 40 times (number pulled from a hat) to style this one type of td? Now, if only one city td needed to be special, a class there would be different. For example, the city currently displayed on the page or in a little window would be bolded and made bigger. However, copy/pasting 'class="city"' 40 times doesn't feel like a good programming practice, because we already know it's a city. It's the same dang thing 40 times. Making a colgroup for this city *one* time and being done with it is the intuitive thing to do, but since it doesn't work... "problem". I think until the inheritance issue with colgroup is figured out, this will always be an issue. The instinctive reaction to colgroup and what it *should* do will bring up the restricting 4 properties limit as many times as there are people who see there is even a colgroup to begin with. :) My 2 cents, at least! ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
