Once upon a time Josh Paluch shaped the electrons to say... >I notice that in IE4 stylesheets don't trump <font> and <basefont>... is >this by design? (at least on windows) > >Of coarse, Netscape4 does just the oppisite (ie, if the same element is >defined by both CSS and <font>, then CSS wins, even if <font> is closer In this case I like the NS method better. It allows an author to use the old hacks for a while and still move up to CSS for newer users. If FONT is going to win they either won't use CSS or they have to accept a poorer presentation in 3.x and lesser browsers to use it. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588
