  And *then* you tell them that in *order* to make the design fit more than one
browser, you need to create duplicate pages ?

  It does NOT work - but then again, I guess it would be impossible to convince
you now, despite the facts. The only thing one can do is to inform a person
about how reality look - and hope he or she understands. We can't help you
leap that abyss.

  I think that attempting to predict anything about the direction(s) the 
'Net' might move in is folly. Which is why sticking to HTML as a standard
is a Smart Idea. I doubt that either Netscrape or Exploder would throw out
plain HTML entirely - then again...
