Well, the problem is, the opposite. When designing OPEN standard compliant webpages, which are not IE compatible. When a situation like this happens, you (the web designer) have got tree choices: 1) forget the use of technology (CSS in this case) 2) forget Open Standard compliance 3) forget that the page sucks on 90% of people I myself, chose number 3, because I had to use CSS, and I couldn't ignore W3C compliance. Others, may not do so. Cheers -- Aryan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
