CSS/HTML Why do YOU totally support one over the other?

[Bernhard Sturm]

Explain exactly what is a standard?
I write a web page and 10 different browsers show it 10 different ways.
One browser accepts a <layer> tag, another doesn't.
Microsoft comes along and only certain things will work with IE.
Is that a standard?

To me, a standard means that every cotton pickin browser will behave in the
same precise way. Period.

a standard is a standard. If your UA doesn't meet the standard it's not
a standards compliant UA.
Or: The standard tells you: you have to stop at a red light, and you
have to drive at a green light.
Now you don't stop, because you have set your own standards which allow
you to drive at a red light and stop at a green light, then chances are
quite well, that you get involved in a crash with someone who follows
the standards... (now figure, whom are you going to blame for your crash?)

I quite frankly would prefer everyone else to use HTML for layout,

stretch after a workout

I am beginning to see that, thanks to this thread. Sitting here playing
with line-height, trying to make the headers look decent, but it's not going
to work, not going to get/have similar space between the 3 lines, 3header
sizes, or top/bottom of this div. CSS does add a few things that html can't
do, and I must try to keep that in focus, from now on.

The best of both words, using both of them in the most economical and
balanced way.

Tables with css are working like a dream and they are very stable.


Full control plus an old and faithful <center> and in no time you can
make a brilliant and fast page and never worry about some bloody hacks.


I do hope that other will fight with hacks for css layout so I can make
some $.




If MS will fix IE, than will be another story, but until that...

html and css are here only preparing the way for a Flash.

Huh? I think not.
