What made the web revolutionary was the hyperlink and, to this day, it is the web's single most significant and important attribute. But what does it matter what the web was designed for - it wouldn't be what it is today without graphics and all things that make it appealing to humans (that aren't geeks). It wasn't designed for buying and selling because it is stateless and has the memory of a goldfish yet Amazon and Ebay have had a huge impact on it. Its universality is not only defined by its flexibility but also by its appeal. > > Not at all. CSS came along well after the web. > Before css matured we were slaves to tables. My web pages have no tables where there is no tabular information, no styling, no javascript just pure html as the web intended.

I know that modern browsers are designed to support vector images but that's certainly not universally available. -- Chris Price 0777 629 0227 follow me at http://twitter.com/hypergossip_uk and http://facebook.com/chris.t.price ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
