Well, I *do* sincerely hope that I haven't been off-topic with my post(s) -- after all, if discussing/resolving problems with CSS is the subject here, I clearly do have a BIG problem with it. ;) >If it works for you - and the visitors to the sites you've created, then >it's fine with me. Well, in a way that's just it -- I've never had any complaints about the useability of my sites, the only complaints that I get are that I'm "still" using tables for layout and stuff, and that I should get up to speed with current standards. These complaints (or recommendations) come only from fellow web designers, of course -- the "average lay person" doesn't generally know any better, one way or the other. In that regard, rest assured that I *do* aspire to completely re-doing all of my web sites with CSS layouts and stuff -- but the longer I'm on this list, the more and more (and more) I discover just how much I still have to learn. :/ In that regard, however, one of my off-list responders indicated that things are slowly but surely becoming better, and that in time (at least), standards will be such that any additional future changes won't be the nightmare that switching from tables to CSS has been (and still is). Is that correct, i.e. that this is where things are headed (hopefully soon!), but that we're not quite there yet? If that's the case, well, then for myself I might as well just back-burner re-doing all of my sites, just leave them essentially as they are (with table layouts) for now, and, in the meantime, I can just continue to develop my knowledge and understanding of CSS, and then by the time I've got a better handle on it all (in a year or two???), then hopefully things will be more "stable" and stuff. Would that be, in fact, a fair recommendation for me to take, considering where I'm at right now? I'm not really up on what the future plans are for CSS, etc., so I don't know if there would be, in fact, a good reason to just hold off for the moment on making any major changes. >If they're all present in one page, you may as well point to all of them >in one post.

Off the top of my head, there's only about three different issues, although I don't *think* they're related. I'll get back to you/the list on that (gotta get together some screenshots to illustrate the problem), but in the meantime thanks very much to you, and to everyone else, who responded (both on-list and off)! ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
