I fully agree with Maarten, that the CEE provided css (tigris, inst) are a total mess, they really suck. They're misleading, bloated (probably one third of the identifiers/classes are not even used anymore by CEE itself), the definitions contradict themselves. It is definitely worth cleaning that mess up. Starting small (with the #important-decls) is a good thing as well. And while I fear that the site will render strange for some time, I'm still in favor of doing it. (Although I'm still pessimistic when it comes to the next site-upgrade (when/if it comes)) I'm sorry if my "one needs to be careful when changing it" sounded like "I'm against changing it" - this is not the case. It just means: * you risk of disturbing the site (so make small changes you can trace back in case somebody complains) * you probably need to do the same thing another time someday (so plan ahead, use ids/classes you can identify as our own so that we can dump the "new old thing" (new default CEE stylesheat) easily, without the need to triple check everything ciao Christian -- NP: nichts --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
