They look at it from a purely visual point, the advantages of css for accessibility will outweigh getting the layout right for 0.01% of the viewing population.
One of the comments had me in shock, "The important thing to remember here is that the new CCS'ed documents should render well on older browsers...So for example, also include the FONT SIZE, bgcolor and Bold or Italics tags. Also, make sure you don't make make tables on CSS, use HTML markup for heavy layout stuff, because most of the browsers above won't be able to handle it." Someone responsed with a sane post about how this was incorrect.

And statements like "I'd support standards if any modern browser was compliant" ... Sure, they're not compliant, but for styling most of the pages mentioned, (and the personal sites of some of the commenters) I think that a blind monkey could probably make them look better using only the intersection of all CSS rules that *do* work in every modern browser. -- Cameron Adams W: www.themaninblue.com --- Mark Stanton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/04/03/30/0041253.shtml?tid=106&tid=1 26&t > id=185&tid=95 > > Very interesting - even if just to demonstrate how little most people > understand about CSS. > > > > > Cheers > > Mark > > > ------------------ > Mark Stanton > Technical Director > Gruden Pty Ltd > Tel: 9956 6388 > Mob: 0410 458 201 > Fax: 9956 8433 > http://www.gruden.com > > ***************************************************** > The discussion list for > http://webstandardsgroup.org/ > See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > for some hints on posting to the list & getting help > ***************************************************** > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
