I don't mean to sound like a broken record or, worse, a product advertisement for the Reef EveryWare (nee Edapta) product, but I believe that it is impossible to create a layout that includes the features for everyone especially if you are talking about creating _usable_ pages for everyone. This is why a single-interface approach is limited -- because different people have different needs. Trying to pretend that we can meet all of them with one design is like pretending that everyone in the world can wear the same shoe, if only we make that shoe adjustable enough. It makes more sense to have "specialized shoes" available -- one in each size. The question then shifts to "how do we make sure that we have a wide enough product line of shoes" which is actually an easier question to answer. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Tel +1 949-567-7006 _________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
