You are thinking about a couple of web page with some little tags here and there. No way. I'm speaking about a load of screens where you desparately try to make your page look the same so your alternative is to use loads of tables to display everything while it is so clear and simple to use div boxes. Maintainability. > Upgrade to the latest IE, use the 'cool' new features - and of course > your page will be visible only in IE. That's the cost of 'featurism'. If the target audience for your particular audience is made of 95% of windows user with IE 5.5+ and web designers wants to make sexy things, it is probably worth the price. Presentation is worth it, like it or not. You can eat the same food in mixed in plastic cup so that it looks like dog food and one well presented in a nice plate, it will actually taste different. The most beautiful woman dressed with a military pant like a rapper or with a sexy suit will look different and will sure give you a different brain experience. This is all about cognitive experience. Stephane -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:ant-dev-unsubscribe@jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:ant-dev-help@jakarta.apache.org>
