That's pretty much the situation here. Most of the sites that I maintain is driven by a very complex content engine, and I have to raise tasks and generally bug people if I want to change the HTML. CSS I have complete control over. Which is not such a bad thing. I am provided with "content", which I must then style to a design. How I do that is temporary and evolving; the content itself remains the same. Besides that, there is something very ugly about conditional comments; while I find some CSS hacks/filters aesthetically acceptable. -- Chris Ovenden http://thepeer.blogspot.com "Imagine all the people / Sharing all the world" ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
