I had considered using tables but they are large documents with up to five levels of indenting. Besides the burden on downloading the files via dial in accounts in the field, our main audience, browsers seem to choke up a bit on large tables. I've decided that in this instance the document would not likely suffer significantly from the use of an older browser not capable of supporting css. Thanks for the suggestion though. -Jamie -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Bailey [SMTP:bbailey@clark.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 1999 6:18 PM To: 'Jamie Fox'; w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Subject: RE: indenting Hurray! But I don't understand why you could not just put the section in question in a two column table (border="0" of course). (The first column could contain just "  " -- or you could use the width attribute.) Using tables in this fashion is only a P3 violation. This is certainly stylistically better than using blockquote or dir (although clear NOT as good as using CSS).
