He didn't say not to mention style sheets at all, just to "also mention the fact that no major browser supports stylesheets today." It's generally considered - in other fields - quite helpful if, when discussing approaches to a problem, some indication is given as to whether the solution is widely used, in narrow use, or purely theoretical. Leaving out that little bit of rather essential information is quite incorrect, and the "Grrr..." is right on target. Adam Guasch-Melendez agm@cais.com http://www.cais.com/agm/
