Be reasonable. What's next, selecting every word in a paragraph ending in "y"? Should there be a rule for that? Designers might find a use for that too if they try hard enough. If it's not going to be used, no-one is going to waste their time implementing it, and if no-one implements it has no place being in the specification. A few attributes between CSS 2 and 2.1 for this reason. CSS doesn't do everything, and never will. Because of that it's possible to implement it fairly consistently from one rendering engine to the next, which is it's strength and the reason your hypothetical designers can use it at all. If you want unlimited flexibility, use Photoshop. Cheers... Mike On 15 Aug 2006, at 13:27, Andrés wrote: > I don't understand you.
