Since when is font sizing with points recommended for web pages as opposed to print styling On this alone I would not recommend this as an authoritative source for learning. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

However I re read it and I'm not sure they're saying you should use them for the web site. I think they're getting at what the Graphic Designer should be putting in their design. It's then down to the developer to translate that into accessible code. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

All the same I consider it to be a poor effort. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

Person A designs, Person B develops. We lowly individuals do both. Helena and I had this problem when we went to the event at Microsoft. You're signing in and they give out raffle tickets. If you're a designer you get yellow, developer you get green. That was fine until we got there and threw a spanner in the works. "Good morning. Designer or Developer?" "Ummmm........ both" _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to caz)

We still didn't win. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to womble)

"No madam, it's a chair, please put it back" Mind you the prizes looked boring. Books - and not terribly interesting books either. But then again most of the other delegates really looked like they didn't get out much.... apart from possibly going to Scouts. _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project (in reply to jaybee)
