Oh, I stumble across it from time to time... but I've got a rather large collection of bookmarks to looks for help. Thanks for that. >> 2.

With css for the > layout and formatting, of course. :) Well, I just read most of the debate on css & tables... and I think it can be done. I am already stumbling on some design issues which are absolutely ridiculous in css... for example, I haven't understood or figured out why a <div id="whatever"> refuses to shrink the bottom boundary no matter what directions it is given without any apparent reason. I have checkd inheritance, !important, nesting, clear, inline, etc. and nothing does it. But I have already filled columns from mysql wich css and it looks and works just fine. Besides, it's a challenge. ;-) > > > Stephen > -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
