Yes. We have 'display: table' that most browsers understand in part, and IE/win can be "tricked" into simulating - in part. There's also the default-behavior, where all browsers expand elements - unless we tell them otherwise. Add in 'em' based dimensions that'll make any layout expand in relation to font-size (when done correctly), and you have more options than tables ever had. > When I go to the pages (http://csszengarden.com/ )they all use fixed > text sizes but are AAA and 508 compliant??

How many of those zengarden designs that comply to anything but good looks, is unknown to me - and not important. They are show-cases. There's no such thing as "fixed text" anyway, so they are just relying on _one_ broken browser - which isn't more broken than that it can 'override' that "fixed text". The result: often awful. > One last thing.....Does anyone know the best way to make tidy > css-less versions of complex pages > > I want my page to look like this..... > http://www.nssdesign.scot.nhs.uk/text_only/whoweare_txt.php > but ALL the options of the dropdown menu are shown - a massive list Depends on what you want them css-less for. If it's for print, then you just have to keep screen-styles for 'media screen', and create a 'media print' stylesheet with a few 'display: none' for elements that are of no use when printing. I use @media rules in my stylesheets for separation... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents//wd_1_04.html> ...while others use 'media="print"' vs. 'media="screen"' on stylesheet-links. If you want to unstyle or downstyle for screen and other media, then you can use some kind of stylesheet-switcher. I use the javascript version described here... <http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/htmlhigh/swapstyle.html> ...and am very pleased with it. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
