Christian, Could you please explain to me how suggesting to someone to keep designs accessible to all browsers doesn't place "emphasis [...] on the practical use of CSS." As for browser detection being an off-topic item I think it is relevent in this instance. It is my opinion that the mechanics of browser-detection(i.e. scripting) would be off-topic, but not a general discussion on how it relates to CSS. If anything it would help advocate the use of CSS.
And after reading your personal idea I believe you and I agree on the role of CSS. However, I believe that as a designer one should strive to make designs seamless from one browser to another. Ever browser user should have the same experience when viewing a design. On 1/4/06, Christian Heilmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Purist's would tell you to build for all browsers.
