To sum it up: any strategy may work for the one who creates it, but not necessarily for others. It's the same as that I have all developer-tools for Firefox, but never use them because they introduce debugging-limitations I'm not willing to accept. They work well for others though. So, having working strategies is fine, but one can not expect others to use or follow the same ones, or even understand them. >> Regarding the original case: it already had those 'hasLayout' fixes >> - in double dose with 'float: left; width: 100%;'.

Is this correct? Doesn't really matter, as it is just adding fat on top of butter :-) I prefer using only 'width: value' when I can, as (outside a conditional comment) that wouldn't upset old IE/Mac (if supported). Means I won't have to hack these rules between IE/win and IE/Mac. > I tried the 8bit png but I still saw the silver background so I > changed it to a gif.

Opera arranges everything as a main file, with a sub-folder for images, CSS, js etc., ready to be accessed by any browser and worked on by any editing software. Thus, at this stage working on any "alien file" is no different from working on my own files locally. The only thing Opera changes is file-names, as it is applying the old 8bytes + 3bytes naming-convention from DOS when downloading from the web. More about how it works, and why Opera in general does a better and more complete downloading-job than other browsers, is described here... <http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/saving.html> My own experience says Opera has a success-rate of better than 98% - less than 2% of the downloads are not very usable right away, and this is more than good enough for what I use it for. 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/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
