I suppose you mean worked for all users. Priorities right I would have thought. What works for all I guess is a moving target and is it worth checking what that is when cool factor isn't required. OpenBSD looks good even in IE6, for my sites I prefer looking good in most browsers and don't care about the look on IE6 as long as function isn't lost for IE6 users. > > If that constraint gets lifted (Theo ? is your browser still stuck in 1990 > > ?), > > then it would probably be possible to have something that looks the same / > > looks better and less painful to change... > > CSS should fall back gracefully.

CSS may not run on old Nokias for example and is only partially implemented by even the newest phones. It can still be used selectively without breaking anything as far as I am aware if desirable though. -- ________________________________________________________ Why not do something good every day and install BOINC. ________________________________________________________
