"implement a toolbar as an <ul> and each button as an <li>." Not sure who originally thought up this idea; but I came across it in "HTML Utopia: Designing without Tables using CSS" - which is a book I can recommend if you are looking for step-by-step examples of webpage design/layout with CSS.

That, and it's more readable without CSS, and with older or non-graphical browsers (like lynx). A great idea I recently came across was to implement a toolbar as an <ul> and each button as an <li>. Makes sense, becuase it's basically a list of similar items. The only difference is in presentation, and that's what CSS is for. Unfortunately the designs I get don't always work this way. mcv. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright, terms and conditions and e-mail legal notice.
