Well, I actually *tried* using CSS in one of my homepages, and boy it sucked. You can't be sure wether your snazzy background image for that TD element will be rendered or not (with Netscape, it was not).
I *hate* webs that forbid non- Flash users from navigating them. But look, if we coded our pages like some of the people here wish, we would get Eric S. Raymond's website.
And frankly, it *sucks*. Wonderful content, but a horrible design.
Look, 95% of today's web design is made with tables. I *know* it looks like hell in text browsers, but I think the web is a visual medium. And if a browser can't render a perfectly valid HTML 2.0 element... dump it.
My latest website's splash page tries to resemble a Japanese nishiki-e painting. If I added a text navigation the whole point would be missed, but all the links are scrupulously ALT tagged. The table formatting in the content pages can be a bit funny, but hey, I want it to look *good* in any browser, even Mosaic. All the information is textual, images are only used to *add* feeling, not to *provide content*.
Honestly, I think this should suffice. If anyone wants to check it, do it.
Nope. Terry is so conscious about executives meddling with his books that the offer to film 'Mort' was resolutely dropped when the brightest mind said 'Hey, that Death character is a bit gloomy, shall we drop it?' OTOH, 'Wyrd Sisters' and 'Soul Music' have been animated and shown on the BBC. They're very nice.
