From: marcush@crc.ricoh.com (Marcus E. Hennecke) | | It essentially means that you can't do page layout with HTML. But that | is nothing new and is actually a feature, not a bug. How can you ever | expect to do page layout if you can in principle have no idea what is | going to display your page (or even if it is going to be displayed)? | | > I rely on <table> support to ensure that my text elements remain properly positioned relative to graphics, regardless of font size. As an example: | | (Walter: it would be nice if you could wrap your lines to around 72 | characters) --- There's a certain irony in telling someone not to worry about layout, because you can't predict how the UA will present it, and immediately complaining about the author's layout, because your UA doesn't like what it got... scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
