Its not about whether or not your browser supports CSS, rather its about what the corporate design standards are. What jamie is asking is, "How do you do this if you do not use CSS" -----Original Message----- From: Charles McCathieNevile [mailto:charles@w3.org] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 1999 1:06 PM To: Neff, Robert Cc: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org; 'Joan Piroch'; Jamie Fox Subject: RE: indenting Assume that people who have browsers which do not support CSS are probably not very interested in presentation controlled to the level provided by CSS.

Something such as the following: div.section1 { margin-left:20px } in the head section or in a linked style sheet. Then: <div class="section1"> in the code. This will "degrade gracefully" in older browsers, although it will NOT be indented.
