[Webwork-devel] HTML and CSS

[Rickard <ri...@mi...>]

Hi!

I have been playing a lot with HTML and CSS these past days, and have 
been extremely impressed with the kind of things you can create with CSS.

However, the best implementation of CSS, by *FAR*, is Mozilla. It has 
all of CSS1, and a lot of cool stuff from CSS2. As y'all know, while 
being technologically superior is great, it's not what counts in the 
real world. IE5/5.5/6 has most of the market, which is more relevant for 
most people.

That said, the level of support that IE has of CSS is "good enough" to 
start using these features IMHO. It will look "ok", although the best 
surfing experience is to be had with Mozilla (or Netscape6).

What I'm getting at here, is that I really would want to change the form 
templates to use CSS more extensively. Currently we're using plain HTML 
and tables in order to render things, but IMHO it would be better if we 
could instead use CSS to achieve the proper formatting. It is so much 
simpler then to change themes (just change the stylesheet reference!) 
and be able to reuse the same HTML.

So, any thoughts on this? Would it be ok for you in your situation to 
set IE5 as the baseline for your end-users?
