Yes, I had already seen how you did it for bible.fhl.net. I'm not really interesting in workarounds for browsers that don't meet standards specifications--that kind of nullifies the point of standards. The workaround you suggest looks fine in Mozilla and MSIE, but not Opera. And supporting workarounds is significantly different from actually supporting a standard. Maybe the browser makers don't think Ruby is very important since the standard is almost 2 years old, yet neither Mozilla nor Opera show any plans of supporting it. > CSS3-Ruby is currently only a "working draft" (under last call) > And I wonder does the web really need that kind of detail of display tuning. Without CSS3-Ruby, you can't control the location of the ruby text at all. In IE6, that means multiple rubies are all shown above the base text. With CSS3-Ruby, you could display some above and some below to reduce clutter. (That's just one example that is useful for an interlinear Bible--as can be seen in my screenshot.) --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
