I totally agree. I could never understand that criticism either. In fact, I'm such a big fan of the Zen Garden my developer parter and I have created a CMS that works around the same principle. Everything has an ID and/or a class and in many cases multiple classes. Divs wrap most everything and there are spans here and there that at first glance you'd question too. They are all totally necessary to have nearly complete design flexibility while working with the same skeleton. I've often thought we'd get the same people saying the same thing about our system... that is, until they use it and see the utility of it ;-) If anyone's curious you can check it out here: http://designerkarma.com -- Audra Coldiron Rock-n-Roll Design & Hosting http://rock-n-roll-design.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
