We need control at the /logical/ level... I think this sums up what I'm trying to say really well. I don't want to issue a directive to the browser saying put this content block 300 pixels in and 20 pixels down, I want to say put this box next to the navigation area. If the nav gets bigger, for whatever reason, my content should move relatively. It is defining relationships between content areas that tables do much better than CSS and it's only those relationships that designers care about really. They are what makes HTML such a great tool for displaying rapidly changing content in a diverse range of environments, the core task of web design. Would anybody responsible for CSS specifications like to comment on this? Ben (q) Ben Godfrey? (a) Web Developer and Designer See http://aftnn.org/ for details
