There's a case that we have all hit designing web pages, a case that made all web+css designers stress and wish the CSS WG burn forever in hell: width: expr(25% - 20px); margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; With my editor's implementor hat on, I can assure you that this is not going to make my life harder, but simpler. That's going to make everyone's life simpler. Oh, well, not everyone ;-) </Daniel> -- Disruptive Innovations SARL, the geeks behind Nvu
