I'd have to say that I've never used AP for an entire site. I have sprinkled AP within a non-AP site w/o ill effects. Such as AP-ing a logo in a header. Obviously being aware of the fact it is removed from the flow and making sure nothing would crash into it upon text scaling, etc. I can imagine an entire build using AP would have its share of tricky quirks... -- Tom Livingston | Senior Interactive Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
