Darran, do you put all these things in a general purpose js file so you only
need one js in the header? I agree, it's bad news having to use so many js
hacks to get css to work, but I've now got the IE scrollbar color js in
there, so the css validates ;-)

Yes, we need strong advocates and it is a shame that one of the most high
profile campaigners has come out with that. We know the v6 browsers are
buggy and there are still millions of legacy browsers out there, but I shall
continue to avoid tables, wherever delivering content is possible without
them. As I've said before, NN4x is so buggy with its table rendering, I
don't see it as much of an improvement...

Cheers, Paul.
