Re: Re: Presentation...

I'd disagree heavilly with you on that -- the goal of CSS is to move presntational elements out of HTML, moving it back into line with it's goal for being a more structural markup -- it'd also significantly lower the amout of load as the styling information (w|c)ould be separated out into a separate file.

Therefore using CSS with HTML actually makes the HTML simpler

This is fine in principle, but maintain backwards compatibility. The use of CSS in a way which is not Netscape 4 compatible is not acceptable.	[reply]

Most of the basic stuff (like background colours, font-families, etc) is pretty well supported from my experience -- certainly all the current styling could be done with CSS to support NS4+, IE3+, Opera and Gecko based browsers. Of course, once the classes are in there, if users want to override this and use some of the more obscure constructs to change the general appearance. It'd also mean that I could fix my current alignment problem :) By the way, I believe the alignment issue to be due to IE6 inheriting styles from parent nodes correctly - a bug in previous versions meant it didn't do this -- either that or it's being dumb(er than normal)... -- RatArsed	[reply]

Oh, and it'd make the site printer friendly with minor additions to the CSS (which non supporting browsers would just ignore) -- it's always nice for print friendly versions... -- RatArsed	[reply]
