hello Travis To be absolutely and totally fair, it could very well be; in fact, it probably is the case that I'm simply not familiar enough with the concepts. But I just wonder what are the advantages in 'forcing' the dimensions of a table rather than allowing the browser to automatically render itm, as most modern browsers are able to do.
For example, here's the code which I used in a table that Gordon knocked up a while ago manually and which I used in my recent Jawbone Jambox review. Note that this table is designed to be accessible, which is why we use a top aligned caption: <TABLE BORDER> <CAPTION ALIGN="top">access_caption</CAPTION> <TR> <TH>header1</TH> <TH>Header2</TH> <TH>Header3</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD>Item1</TD> <TD>Item2</TD> <TD>Item3</TD> </TR> </TABLE> Now, that seems to work fine with obvious adjustments made so that the header and data rows contain the appropriate values. as for the forms, they seem a little more complex. But yes I guess the idea of creating a template blank form is a workable solution. I do totally agree with you though about the various viewing options for your coe. It also gives you the ability with a single keystroke to call up your browser so that you can see it in a real-world type of situation. So I would definitely agree with you that Taco does have some very interesting and more than usable functionality. But all the same, I think that an equivalent to Adobe DreamWeaver CS5.5 on Mac OS X would be an invaluable tool. I'm toying with the idea of buying another version of that actually because on other platforms it's quite accessible I gather. iWeb which, as we all know, is already nailed into its coffin, never was accessible. Selecting templates without vision just wasn't possible and as far as I am aware there was never any way to know where and how your code was being inserted even if you got that far. So this is actually still a market we're exploring to see if we can find some kind of intuitive alternative. Sandvox works well for me personally; but I won't use it because it isn't accessible for Gordon and those like him who need VoiceOver support. Yeah; I could be selfish and say "well, I'll handle the design work" and that'd be an end to it. But I don't see that as viable because it doesn't allow you to interchange editors to work on your website. You use Sandvox and that's an end to it. It also is another one of those editors which introduces an awful lot of clutter in the way of images and extraneous code. I'm most definitely not an expert in the field of web design, and heaven forbid that I'd ever claim to be. But I think I upset the president of the company which produces Sandvox a couple of weeks ago when I made that point to him. Why should every website you want to work on be littered with all that junk in the background. Images obviously slow down the browser when it comes to processing websites and the Sandvox solution which was to simply create a black and white website is just plain stupid.
