Hi Damon;

I spent a whole week just getting my template laid out
http://www.linkhomes2000.co.uk pure CSS. Long way from completion, like
you first time with CSS and reasonably pleased with myself, then had it
checked in mozzila it was totally destroyed, have since downloaded
mozzila and find, IE does not follow the hierarchal construction rules
of CSS correctly mozzila does. Problem most people I know use IE
(clients that is) I've lost a weeks work, but found an answer as to why
what happens does, now just have to find away around it. It can be done,
and done well I've seen it. And if your going to call yourself a
webmaster I think it's a skill you must have! (Just my opinion) and I'm
not quite there yet, but WILL BE VERY SOON.

Kind Regards

D.G

I have recently finished my first CSS-P, using tables only for tabulated
data. I was very happy and very proud of myself, until I looked at in
anything other than IE, it was a total f*cking mess.

It was quite a while before I thought of looking at the source code in
firefox when I discovered that all my div tags were tables! The site was
written in .Net using the asp server side tags. Be warned anyone using
this
method, MS does not believe that anything other than IE supports CSS
(which
is interesting as reading posts on here IE has the least support). There
is
a fix for this I was sent by someone on another forum, requiring a load
of
overrides in the web/machine config file.
