I too would like to see CSS tabs, but PLEASE NOT defined in inches!!!
Which inches would you have in mind? The inches on my monitor, which are
not the same as yours? The inches on my hard copy, which depend on my own
choice of font size? Or the inches on some "natural" scale of measurement
(72 pixels/in, in the world of Walter Ian Kaye)?
Please no. Pixel measurements are the only reasonable way of thinking
about relationships on a Web page. Quite apart from the fact that the
vast majority of the world measures things in centimetres.
Cheers,
