Greetings, W3C switched today its home page to a full CSS layout instead of the previous table-based one. See: http://www.w3.org/ The techniques used in this layout has been documented at: http://www.w3.org/2002/11/homepage It is basically realized through the float property. As you may know, using CSS for horizontal layout has some important benefits: - respect of the HTML semantics (tables are really for tabular data) - better accessibility - better device scalability The downside is that some non-CSS2 aware browsers do not render it as intended; the page keeps completely readable though. The W3C Communication Team is interested in hearing comments on this change on the publicly archived mailing-list site-comments@w3.org (which doesn't prevent us from discussing some related bits here :) Dom -- Dominique Hazaël-Massieux - http://www.w3.org/People/Dom/ W3C/INRIA mailto:dom@w3.orgReceived on Thursday, 5 December 2002 11:24:35 GMT
