Have in mind:
Not every font on your system is "web-safe" ;-)

Thanks Matthias
>If you need "non standard" fonts
Nah, I have enough fonts. The main bitch for me is that I want a font size
that is often between Fontsize=1 and Fontsize=2 .... etc ... Lol.
It's not a huge issue of course but CSS allows much more there and that is an
added attraction. But not for the current job, Lol.

@Just wished they could handle fonts with a little more options!!!
If you need "non standard" fonts
http://facelift.mawhorter.net/
or as pure js:
http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
and/or:
http://typeface.neocracy.org/
or (the big weapon, a cms):
use a cms like typo3 with graphical headers....

Hi Matthias
An earlier link you sent suggested that HTML5 was still under development
too.
I need to be safe and fast so I guess the client is stuck with HTML4 for
now. Just wished they could handle fonts with a little more options!!! No
matter, the site is robust on all browsers so far so that too points at staying
with V4.
Which leaves me having to sort the style on every page ..... I better get
started I guess.
Thank you
Neil Cooke

Hi Neil,
HTML5 is still in development, if I'm right ;-)
Maybe have a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5
and/or google for "HTML5 browser support"
or something like this.
I'm using this site:
http://www.webhits.de/deutsch/index.shtml?/deutsch/webstats.html
to get some information for "browsers in use", too.
If you have old websites "XHTML + CSS" is ok in my opinion.
The basic idea behind HTML+CSS is to separate
content and layout. One of the most important ideas behind this
is to get "accessible" websites.
If you like to play around with upcoming "markup languages",
have a closer look at CSS3, too.
But if you need a "working website" look for XHTML and CSS2.
My 5 cents.
Matthias

Thanks Matthias and Amir,
Just graphics .... no customer response, SQL, etc.
I was thinking of upgrading a client website to CSS, however on second
thoughts I need to get their new product data online immediately so the CSS
with my need to get up to speed with it, will need to be a later effort.
HTML5 at a very brief look, seems more like it's involved with xml and
developments like that rather than graphic style so I think eventually, once
the latest promotion urgency is sorted I think CSS will need to be brought into
the studio.
I will try a free download of the 2010 version of the editor I am
familiar with at that time I think and see how I go.. I currently use CoffeeCup
... old HTML4 .... robust but clunky in it's graphics.
Thanks again
Neil Cooke

Nope,
should be "not very hard".

Do you need it as a "professional" ?

Hi List
Opinions please ......
.... is it a huge learning curve to upskill from a basic HTML4
skillset?
No Java or C* skills. Would take HTML5 onboard at the same time.
It's all in an editor app of course but I do like to understand the
coding.
TIA
