> you cannot rely on CSS! what are other options! > I suppose this depends on the traffic your web site sees, your definition of "rely," and the extent to which you really need to indent a section of text. On the sites I run, 93% to 98% of our users come in with browsers that would either display that CSS example as intended, or have been explicitly configured not to do so--a decision I'm not about to argue with. 0% of the browsers on our web site would have their display broken by the example. That's the graceful degradation mentioned earlier in the thread. On other web sites, the first number will vary, but the second number will remain 0%. So you can rely on CSS not to break the user's display, if you choose to define "rely" that way. If your need for indented text is such that it can't tolerate a non-indented display on at least some displays, you eventually have to consider if you should be using a page description language like PDF instead of HTML.
