http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=PostingGuidelines : Css-discuss is primarily intended to be a place for authors to discuss real-world uses of CSS. This doesn't preclude discussions of theory, or nifty cutting-edge tricks that show off the power of CSS, or even talking about (X)HTML, DOM, and so forth. However, it's greatly appreciated if such discussions have some practical payoff, even if it's just teaching other list members a little bit more about how CSS works. Css-discuss covers all stages, from beginner to advanced. CSS slant tricks show new CSS developers that you need a lot of unneccessary HTML to create a design that is a lot easier done with an image/canvas/SVG. HTML is not a poem and CSS is not paint. Both are instructions for a user agent to explain what content is and how it should be rendered. I can make car bumpers out of cheese cubes, but I wouldn't start a business on it. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
