(i.e. make it look perfect in recent browser, but ensure it *works* in older browsers). i think obfuscating your markup just to appease a *very* small subset of site visitors (we all know IE has 104.37% market share) just isn't worth it. that'll be $0.02, please drive through. :) -- wa...@wa... http://www.walkah.net/ |
