But I have a real hard time understanding how something like a series of specific areas on the screen can be defined using CSS without relating it to DOM elements. This would certainly require a completely new way of how to create web pages. reading the specs doesn't get me much further either. Could someone make an example of what this wouldlook like? Say I want a text to flow through three differnt areas that I manually specify. Soemthing like this maybe? <html><body> <div class="maintext">...</div> </body></html> .maintext { region-1: 12px 560px 46px 780px; region-2: 70px 690px 130px 810px; region-3: 120px 1200px 132px 830px; } ? If how would one then style those regions differently? Say the text color in the second region should be red, would I do? .maintext { region-2-color: red; } I am sure this is not how it is meant as I just made up the CSS code, but could one of you show what it would be like? As it stands now, at least in part due this endless fight and insistence on a book specification that noone else seems to have an interest in (other than us book producers), it seems that Google has decided none of this will happen, at least not in our life times.
