Why is CSS limited to web documents? CSS is used by some programs and web apps to define user interface style. The argument that the author should not have control of this should in my opinion not be a factor when discussing whether something should be specified. After all, CSS allows for authors to define cursor styles, a common user interface element. When CSS fails to try to define something useful, we get stuck with bad proprietary implementations such as the scrollbar styling definitions in Internet Explorer and X11 named colors. Yes, I really dislike the X11 named color set... -Dylan -- Dylan Schiemann X11 Named Colors' worst enemy http://www.sitepen.com/ http://www.dylanschiemann.com/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
