Hopefully in CSS3 we'll be able to select the box model. Current method could be much more bearable for flexible layouts with simple arithmetic expressions like %50 - 6px (for a 3px border, in this example). There had been a discussion on expression recently I guess.. Dunno. I don't need complex expressions. Just adding and subtracting two same/different units would have been killer. One method to deal with that is to have a box in box. BAD :) Other is giving them smaller % on a trial basis. Another one, which is encouraged by this current model, is to use px. and have a non-flexible design. BAD, again. -- Emrah BASKAYA www.hesido.com
