I absolutely agree with you that we need to put pressure on browser companies to change and stick to the standards. But that takes a lot of time. When I first decided to ignore Netscape 4 by moving away from tables it felt scary. Now I just love it. But making that step took a long time. Sure it's not your fault if somebody uses a computer without being experienced in doing so. But that doesn't mean we should not consider those users. How many times does it happen to people that they try to program a new Video Recorder and it just doesn't work. Do they read the manual? No. Is it the fault of the manufacturer that they didn't read the manual? No. But if the manufacturer made the interface of the Video Recorder more intuitive and easy to use, everybody would be happy and the customer would recommend that Video Recorder to others. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
