I haven't created a site in over a year that used anything other than CSS-P for layout. Some of the sites are visited heavily by NN 4.x browsers. Yes, it limits you a bit but you can have a site that is streamlined attractive, works in NN 4.x and uses nothing but css for positioning.
Take a look at http://pinespc.org. Works in every browser out there including Lynx. May not look as nice in Lynx but hey that is a pure text browser. I will admit there is one page that displays differently in NN 4.x than in compliant browsers and that is the preschool page. Some of the background images are hidden from NN 4.x because it doesn't handle that type of positioning well. Not a big deal since there was a difference of opinion between some of the client's board on whether the pictures should be used or not. Very little reason that a simple site of the type our clients need can't use css for layout. Cheryl D.

So far, the clients I have are small business and/or nonprofits where their customers may be on older machines. I use CSS for the other display elements however. I know people (and more than I would like to admit) still on Netscape 4 as they believe this is more secure. After all -- browser attacks are usually targeted at newer version (at least that is their belief). So they put up with old browsers. I cannot change their thinking and must accommodate it in the web design. Most of these are low budget sites so I can't afford to do a table layout for older browsers and pure CSS layout for newer ones. I wonder how long it will be before *most* everyone is using a browser that fully supports CSS layout? Thanks for reminding me about csszengarden. I haven't been there for a bit. ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
