However, I'm not sure why you need one; it's trivially obvious and part of the design rationale for CSS. The problem is not old browsers, but not so old ones with partial and broken implementations. The safest thing to do with NS4, other than replacing it, is to turn off CSS. Thanks David. I will check out the list for the examples you believe have been posted. The reason that I am keen to see exemplars is that I am not so sure that it is "trivially obvious" in that in a previous email Kynn argued that CSS was not friendlier to older browsers than tables: "If you're talking about old, old browsers, and you give them something like <div>s with CSS-P, it will flow it together in an old mess. If you're talking about old, old browsers, and you give them <table>, at worst it does the same as lynx -- flows it together in one big mess -- and at best it will lay out the page exactly as intended" So I am just interested in seeing examples that Charles considers have been coded correctly and therfore overcome all of the issues raised by Kynn and Joe. If it is trivially obvious why is there continuing debate over the use of CSS versus tables for layout?
