totally agree. this is not a plus for us either. our UI people play with html (we don't do wod's, 100% inline bindings), and our java people play with Java. the thought that our java team would have the UI team on their backs all day saying "er, can you change that <table>, <tr> and <td> mess you're pumping out for a list please (like i told you last time)" fills me with fear! even if you keep your UI people to tidy up with css, surely they are going to be nagging java engineers to get the correct id's and classes pegged to the html the java code is pumping out ? it seems this is only a benefit if your java people actually look after the whole UI piece as well - and i've yet to find a java engineer that has style. no offence intended :-) Simon _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
