The concept of "graceful degradation" was broken with CSS. http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/abdesign.html#degradability Essentially, the origional style codes that are inside of a document superceed those in CSS, but for graceful degradation it would be the reverse. Old browsers would view with the old style codes, and newer browsers with the more advanced style capabilities in Style Sheets. I haven't used CSS yet because of this - I do not like the idea that it breaks graceful degradation. --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> See http://weblog.flora.ca/ for announcements, activities, and opinions Speaking in Toronto: Copyright or Wrong? http://www.rabble.ca/rumble/ ALERT!
