CSS text positioning (was: Frames and Compatibility)
I will say that I look forward to the day when browsers will support
CSS2 with TEXT POSITIONING. The ability to render side-by-side
divisions, rather than use tables, will be a boon, IMHO. <g>
I've been designing pages using CSS text positioning. The side-by-side divisions (simulating a table) display fine in Netscape 4.75, IE 5, and Opera 4, although some combinations of units and/or percentages don't work in all three browsers. The technique is not quite ready for prime time, but it works better than I expected.
Real Soon Now I'll put some of my test pages on the Web and invite people to comment on them and test them in other browsers, on Macs, etc.
