Daniel, one of the purposes of XML and XSLT is to seperate the content from the way it is displayed. To use depreciated font elements sort of defeats the way mark-up has been designed. And check again on font support in Netscape. Font-family and font-size are fully supported in Netscape 4.x and above, and many additional features are available which font tags can't support. [Core CSS, Schengil-Roberts, 2000] Even properties which have a "partial" rating - ie font-style, are classed so because of some small variation from the spec. (oblique should be available as well as italic in the case of font-style - but show me the font tag for oblique ;) ) Happy coding, Tim Watts -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Newman Sent: Wednesday, 4 July 2001 9:21 PM And I just love those font tags. I even use upper case HTML tags!!! hah hah. If I removed my font tags, I'd have to use that terribly unreliable css :-) There are users out there still using Netscape you know.
