I think a nice, clean solution would be to suggest (*) that UAs give all author rules equal weight--i.e., ignore "!important" in author style sheets. (*) It would be nice to *require* that UAs ignore "!important" in author style sheets, but this would mean that a CSS2-compliant browser could not be a CSS1-compliant browser. Perhaps it's worth it? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBNIYpWPP8EtNrypTwEQKu+ACfc+gaI8FwTLd7ZjksXuKS2TfeRKIAn27n 5oItJfuGpyzcozoaZKmDTpnM =lMHm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Liam Quinn Web Design Group Enhanced Designs, Web Site Development http://www.htmlhelp.com/ http://enhanced-designs.com/
