OK, one last attempt and then I'll shut up. What is "practical advice" ? Is it (for example) "This will work in all browsers currently known to man, but violates one or more W3C specifications" ? If so, then how can you (as the person offering the advice) have any confidence that it will also work in next year's browser, or next week's, or even tomorrow's ? If, on the other hand, the practical advice were "This will work in all browsers currently known to man, and is fully compliant with all relevant W3C specifications", then would not you (as the author) and I (as the consumer) have justifiable confidence that it will continue to work in future browsers for some considerable time to come ? Over and out. ** Phil. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@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/
