It's possible to design a good-looking page on a GUI that doesn't take forever to download which still works ok for lynx, Netscape 1.0, Mosaic etc. Even frames are not that bad: if you are careful, it will only require a few more "clicks" or the like from the user. In fact, I haven't checked the details, but I believe HTML 4.0 is an attempt to standartise the various HTML "enhancements" in a way reasonably compatible with older implementatios. I don't mean we should make the page a fireworks show, but I do believe it would benefit from a little more attention to visual design. Also, the structure is *not* that good IMHO (differently from someone else said before); that doesn't mean it's bad, it's just not the best. See ya, Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's Internet!
