The original idea behind Transform Gracefully was that the pages would be designed so that if the default presentation was not possible (because key technologies were either not available of turned off) the page could be displayed successfully in other forms. That is, if the page could not be presented as the author would optimally prefer, that it could transform gracefully into forms that would be displayable within the constraints of the user agent that the user had. -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Human Factors Depts of Ind. and Biomed.
